AST-5251/11 IN THE EPSON EQUITY III PC
|
||
|
||
|
||
A user of AST 5251/11 is attempting to use IBM's FSU (File
|
||
Support Utility) on an IBM System 38. The AST 5251/11 is
|
||
installed in an Epson Equity III Personal Computer.
|
||
|
||
The problem occurs when the customer attempts to access virtual
|
||
drive "A" through the FSU. Instead of reading the virtual drive
|
||
on the System 38, the physical "A" drive on the Equity III is
|
||
accessed. This is because the Epson does not address the
|
||
floppy drives in the same manner as the IBM PC.
|
||
|
||
The customer was able to solve the problem using the following
|
||
method:
|
||
|
||
1) Set drive "A" as the virtual drive in the AST 5251/11
|
||
configuration file.
|
||
|
||
2) Enter the FSU on the System 38 side, then "hot-key" into DOS
|
||
on the PC side.
|
||
|
||
3) Copy the desired file from A: to B:. At this point both
|
||
drives A: and B: are acting as virtual drives.
|
||
|
||
4) Proceed with any of the FSU transfer procedures as usual.
