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.)
