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.)
