- Ok thiz time it's a Txt file made for all ya by Nemesis of TCB!!!!
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This text is a number of simple hints for those who have bought
- one 1.44 drive (1520k exactly!!) and still have some troubbles with it!
-
- First of all the 2Nd external drive is usually recognized by the system
- as one STANDARD 880K drive when you make a reset and you keep a DOS disk
- inside your drive...( do this if ya wanna have a 880K drive for any
- reasons...).
-
- If you wanna have a 1.44 Mb drive you have to toggle any disk from your
- 1.44 mb drive and to reset (Sometimes you need 2 resets to have a
- NON_INITIALISED drive!!!
- At this time you must Configure this drive in order to be recognised
- and labelled as an 1.44 Mb drive...
- To do this you must modify 2 system files.. the 'Startup-sequence' in
- the S directory... and the 'Mountlist' in the Devs directory.
-
- In the Startup-sequence you have simply to add the following statement
- at the start of it...
-
- Mount df2:
-
- ...and then save it
-
- In the mountlist instead you have to add many statements...
-
- instead of doing this difficoult stuff I included in this .zip file
- A cli-command named ... Mega2
-
- you simply have to type:
-
- Mega2 df2: 2
-
- to have your drive installed...
- you have to do this only one time coz the changes are permanently saved
- in the disk/hd you are using right now!
- (That's coz this command modifies the startup-sequence and the mountlist
- in order to mount the drive 'df2:' all the time you boot from that disk)
-
- Note that if you want to use another disk you have got to boot from it
- and then reuse the command mega2 df2: 2 ....
-
- For those who are interested there are only 2 differences from the
- 880K and the 1.44 Mb drives...
-
- The first one is the number of the sectors per track that is 19 instead
- of 11 (In fact to use the 1.44 mb mode you need High Density disks!!)
-
- The second one is that the handler device is not the 'Trackdisk.device'
- but the 'cgr.device' that can handle HD diskettes...
-
- I hope this TXT is clear enought for ya and that all your troubbles
- were fixed.... if it's not contact me at :
