Setting the diskette drive type(s)
On your system, diskette drive A is the 3.5-inch high-density
drive installed in your computer. You may also have another
drive of a different size or capacity; this is drive B. Check the
settings for both drives and correct them if necessary.
The Fixed Disk Setup Option
The options on the Fixed Disk Setup screen define the types of
hard disk drives you installed in your system. From this screen,
select Fixed Dick 0 Control or Fixed Dick 1
Control.
Your computer comes with a hard disk auto-sensing feature.
Press
Enterwhenthe
Autotype Fixed Disk option is
highlighted. The system detects the type of hard disk drive and
fills in the remaining fields on the screen.
If you are using an older drive or a preformatted drive, it may
not support the auto-sensing feature. If you press
Enter
when
the
Autotype Fixed Disk
option is highlighted and the
drive parameters do not match your drive,
check
Appendix A
to see if your drive’s parameters are included in the hard disk
drive table. If not, you need to define your own drive type or
reformat the disk. See the next
section
for instructions
on how
to
define your own drive type.
Defining your own drive type
If the parameters for your hard disk do not match the
parameters detected by the auto-sensing feature, or if you want
to use your drive with parameters other than the defaults, you
can define your own type. (See Appendix A for a list of
predefined hard disk drive types and their parameters.)
