COLOSSUS INSTALLATION ON AT&T 6300
|
||
|
||
|
||
PROBLEM: If the customer formats his COLOSSUS DISK SYSTEM
|
||
using the AT&T MS-DOS Ver 3.X, he will experience "Disk
|
||
ACCESS FAILURES."
|
||
|
||
|
||
NOTE: AT&T MS-DOS Ver. 3.X formats the hard disk using
|
||
12 bit Fats as opposed to IBM's PC-DOS 16 bit Fats.
|
||
The Colossus System is not designed to operate with
|
||
this type format. Once formatted, the later versions
|
||
of DOS can utilize earlier formats.
|
||
|
||
|
||
SOLUTION: TO OPERATE THE COLOSSUS SYSTEM ON THE AT&T 6300; THE
|
||
CUSTOMER MUST FORMAT EACH COLOSSUS VOLUME USING AT&T
|
||
MS-DOS 2.X BEFORE USING THE COLOSSUS SYSTEM.
