9.3 SETTING UP THE
EXTERNAL FIXED DISK
DRIVE EXPANSION UNIT
NOTE: The EXTDISK.SYS device driver needs
to be installed in the CONFIG.SYS file
only if you are running the expansion
unit at the secondary address. If the
EXTDISK.SYS device driver is used,
then DOS Version 3.31 or later must
also be used.
After you run SETUP, insert the EXTDISK into
drive A and copy the EXTDISK.SYS file to the
directory that contains the MS-DOS files.
You must then modify the CONFIG.SYS file to
install the device driver. After modifying the
CONFIG.SYS file, restart the computer to load
the EXTDISK.SYS device driver in memory.
FDISK Utility
You must install the FDISK utility (FDISK.SYS)
device driver in the CONFIG.SYS file before you
can use FDISK with the expansion unit. For
detailed information about FDISK, refer to your
MS-DOS user documentation.
IMPORTANT
Each time you use the FDISK utility with
the expansion unit, you must insert the
EXTDISK diskette in drive A and restart the
computer. Then use the version of FDISK
contained on that diskette.
