ELITE SERIES USER MANUAL ENHANCED DOS UTIL.
Since “dumb’ FID will work with Disk II and
Elite One diskettes correctly, you need to
create a Disk II or Elite One diskette
containing FID on it. The run FID and specify
menu item 1 (copy files) in order to copy FID
ENHANCE onto the same diskette as "dumb" FID.
For more information on using FID, refer to your
DOS manual.
Once FID and FID ENHANCE are on the same
diskette, simply type:
BRUN FID ENHANCE
to begin the modifications.
FID ENHANCE does not ask you anything. The
first things it does is issue a “BLOAD FID”
command to DOS in order to load FID into memory
(FID must be on the diskette, or DOS will inform
you of the error).
Once DOS has loaded FID into memory, FID ENHANCE
will perform the necessary “teaching” and then
issue a BSAVE FIDR" to DOS to save the new
“smart” FID under the name of FIDR. The “R” on
the end indicates it is the Rana modified copy
of FID.
FIDR can then be used exactly like the original
FID, except FIDR is completely compatible with
the entire Elite Series drive line and also the
four drives of the Elite Controller.
