- Re: How to Format a Plus Hard-Card
-
- This is a response to R.J.Welsh's problem about the plus hard-card.
- You should format the hard card using HFORMAT supplied with the card.
- DOS format command will give different error mesages because IBM DOS
- 2.0 and 2.1 can not support more than 10MB disk. This part comes from
- the hard card manual "To see if your IBM PC has new system BIOS ROM
- (which recognizes a hard card) you may use the following method check
- for a date 10/27/82 or later:
-
- TYPE BASIC and press RETURN
- 10 DEF SEG=&HF000
- 20 FOR X=&HFFF5 TO &HFFFC
- 30 PRINT CHR$(PEEK(X));
- 40 NEXT
-
- type RUN and press RETURN.
- Good luck.
