the drive G, which is currently enabled, will be disabled.

This problem arises from the fact that the hardware conditions established by initialization with CARDID.EXE are lost since access to the drive F was executed by means of specific codes included in the BIOS. To avoid this problem, these specific codes in BIOS should be disabled. ENDATA.COM is used to do this. If ENDATA.COM is executed with the two drives mentioned above enabled, the specific codes (program) in BIOS are disabled, and the drive G can be retained as the only valid card drive. Below are example CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT scripts used to boot a card.

Example of CONFIG.SYS

For the moment concentrate on the positions of CARDID.EXE and ENDATA.COM. CARDID.EXE can be registered as a device driver. In fact, this CARDID.EXE is registered as a device driver in
