THIRD FLOPPY DRIVE SUPPORT UNDER IBM OS/2 2.0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The system does not recognize the third physically installed floppy drive
|
||
|
|
under IBM OS/2 version 2.0. However, the system recognizes the drive under
|
||
|
|
DOS. The statement BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD in the IBM OS/2 2.0 CONFIG.SYS file
|
||
|
|
is the default configuration for two floppy drive support in a non-IBM
|
||
|
|
system. To have the third floppy drive supported under IBM OS/2 modify the
|
||
|
|
BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD statement so that the file appears as follows:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD /UNIT:2 /F:1.2*
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
/F:1.44
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*Select the appropriate format for the third floppy drive which would be
|
||
|
|
either a 1.2MB 5.25" (1.2) drive or a 1.44MB 3.5" (1.44) drive.
