- ABOUT DMS DEVICE
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
- DMS Device is a little device driver, which gives you the ability
- to mount .DMS files as a virtual drive, instead of unpacking
- to a disk.
-
- NOTE:
- If you got any TRK0 added tracks(BBS advertisements)
- in the .DMS file, you must remove those, using
- DMS.
- To remove those tracks , use the utility in the directory
- DMSTEST, called "DMSTESTUTRK"
-
- i.e: DMSTESTUTRK <DMS FILENAME>
-
- Here is an MOUNTLIST EXAMPLE for you DEVS:
-
-
- ************** CUT HERE AND INSERT IN YOUR DEVS:MOUNTLIST ********
-
-
- /* MountList example for DMS DEVICE */
-
- DM0: Device = devs:dms.device
- Unit = 0
- Flags = 0
- Surfaces = 2
- BlocksPerTrack = 11
- Reserved = 2
- Interleave = 0
- LowCyl = 0
- HighCyl = 79
- Buffers = 5
- BufMemType = 1
- #
- ****************************** CUT HERE *****************************
-
- You can include this in your own mountlist, or you can have it
- as a seperate file located elsewhere on your disk.
- Then you will have to start it by this:
-
- MOUNT DM0: FROM <WHERE YOU MOUNTLIST IS>
-
-
-
- For changing to a DMSFILE, use the CHDIR command included in the
- DMSDEVICE directory.
-
- The DMS.DEVICE can handle up to 10 different dmsfiles at a time
- ranging from from 0 to 9.
-
- When you have mounted the drive , there is just one more thing to do.
-
- what to do:
-
- CHDIR <DMS DRIVE> <DMS FILENAME>
-
- i.e: CHDIR 0 HD0:DOWNLOAD/DMSFILE[.DMS]
-
-
- ALWAYS USE A FULL PATH TO THE DMSFILE.
-
-
- ********************
- *******NOTE*********
- ********************
-
- THE DMS.DEVICE IS AT THE TIME, VERY! SLOW ON MOST COMPUTERS
- (EXCEPT A4000 COMPUTER WITH AN 040)
-
- THE REGISTERED VERSION FEATURES AN OPTION IN DMS, WHICH CONVERTS
- THE DMS FILE FOR USE WITH DMS.DEVICE , AND AFTER CONVERSION
- THE VIRTUAL DRIVE WILL RUN AT HIGH-SPEED, AND ALMOST EMULATE
- THE REAL DISK-DRIVE.
-
- BUT IN THE NEAR FUTURE , REGISTERED USERS WILL RECEIVE AN UPDATED
- VERSION.
