THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING HARD DRIVE HELPER. WE
HAVE WORKED HARD TO MAKE IT THE VERY BEST PRO-
GRAM OF IT'S KIND. WE HOPE YOU FIND IT USEFUL.
================================================================
Part 1 THIS IS THE LARGEST AND MOST COMPLETE COLLECTION OF
HARD DRIVE INFORMATION AVAILABLE ANYWHERE.
THERE IS INFORMATION HERE THAT WILL HELP YOU SELECT,
IDENTIFY, OR FORMAT ANY OF OVER 800 HARD DRIVES.
THIS PART IS ABOUT 25 PAGES LONG.
TO PRINT THIS OUT, type HARDLIST <ENTER>
Part 2 THIS SECTION WILL SAVE YOU TIME, MONEY, AND A LOT
OF FRUSTRATION.
INSTALLING SOME HARD DRIVES ON AN "AT" CAN SOME-
TIMES DRIVE YOU NUTS. THE BIOS IN THE "AT" WANTS YOU
TO ASSIGN A 'TYPE' NUMBER TO THE HARD DRIVE BEFORE IT
WILL RECOGNIZE IT.
THE TROUBLE IS THAT NO TWO BIOS SETS USE ALL OF THE
SAME TYPE NUMBERS FOR DIFFERENT DRIVES.
HURRAY...THE CHART IN THIS SECTION WILL HELP YOU SAVE
YOUR SANITY. YOU JUST LOOK UP THE DRIVE AND THE BIOS
YOU ARE USING AND, BINGO THERE IS THE 'TYPE'.
TO PRINT THIS OUT, type ATTYPE <ENTER>
Part 3 THE OTHER THING THAT CAN DRIVE YOU NUTS IS CONNECT-
ING THE CABLES BETWEEN YOUR HARD DRIVE AND CONTROLLER.
IT'S EASY IF YOU KNOW THE 'TRICK'. WE SHOW YOU THE
'TRICK'.
TO PRINT THIS OUT, type CABLES <ENTER>
Part 4 HAVE YOU EVER GONE TO A GARAGE SALE, AUCTION, OR
SURPLUS STORE AND SEEN A FLOPPY DRIVE AT A GREAT PRICE?
YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T BUY IT BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
IT WAS 360K, 720K, 180K, 1.2 MEG, ETC.
HERE WE HAVE A LIST OF MANUFACTURES AND MODEL NUMBERS
THAT WILL TELL YOU WHAT'S WHAT.
IT CAN HELP YOU FIND SOME GREAT BARGINS OR KEEP YOU
FROM MAKING A COSTLY MISTAKE.
TO PRINT THIS OUT type, FLOPPY <ENTER>

HARD DRIVE HELPER. YOUR INPUT IS VERY INPORTANT TO US.
