|
||
|
||
A few simple conditions must be met in order to utilize the 3_Drives
|
||
device driver.
|
||
|
||
They are:
|
||
|
||
1. Computer system MUST be either a 286, 386sx, 386dx, 486sx or
|
||
486dx.
|
||
|
||
2. DOS level must be v3.0 or higher, including Digital Research
|
||
DR DOS 6.0, with a single Primary partition (3_Drives v2.5
|
||
shareware version, only).
|
||
|
||
** Registered 3_Drives or 4_Drives v3.0 also support Extended
|
||
partitions with up to 10 logical drives per physical unit.
|
||
|
||
3. A second Controller or Host Adapter which must have the option
|
||
to set a Secondary Port Address to 170h and to disable IRQ14
|
||
monitoring. The Secondary Port Address feature is available on
|
||
practically every hard drive controller made and the disable
|
||
IRQ14 feature is found on about half of the adapters, but is
|
||
"do-able" on 100% of them using a simple tape-over method (See
|
||
App Note #10 for "Tape-Over Method"). Jumpers and settings for
|
||
the Seagate ST-07A, ST-08A, Acculogic SIDE-3 AT/IDE Host
|
||
Adapters and Western Digital WD1006-xxx, Adaptec ACB-231x,
|
||
Adaptec ACB-237x or Data Technology DTC728x MFM/RLL ST506/ST412
|

|
||
|
||
The disk drive that will be attached to the Secondary Port Address
|
||
needs to be partitioned and formatted on the Primary Port Address
|
||
prior to using the 3_Drives/4_Drives device driver. Use the standard
|
||
DOS utilities, FDISK and FORMAT, or automatic installation software to
|
||
accomplish the task. This will probably require temporarily removing
|
||
the existing hard disk drive controller or preparing the "Secondary"
|
||
drive in a different system.
|
||
|
||
BEFORE disengaging the "Primary" drives, BE SURE to write down the
|
||
CMOS drive type(s). If 'User Defined' or 'Custom' drive types are
|
||
being used, write down the associated cylinder, head, write precomp,
|
||
lzone and sector per track values.
|
||
|
||
(If the drive you intend to install on the Secondary Port
|
||
Address is prepared and ready to go, jump to step #9 below)
|
||
|
||
The installation steps to take for an unprepared drive without data
|
||
are roughly as follows:
|
||
|
||
.5 Finish reading the rest of this document.
|
||
|
||
1. Satisfy yourself that BACKUPs of your data are current and in
|
||
good condition.
|
||
|
||
2. Prepare a bootable floppy diskette and copy (or simply have
|
||
available on a separate diskette) FDISK and FORMAT to this
|
||
floppy.
|
||
|
||
3. Install (on the default Primary Address) the controller or host
|
||
adapter for the drives you eventually intend to use on the
|
||
device driver and set the appropriate drive type number in the
|
||
system CMOS setup. Remember, each controller will support one or
|
||
two drives. The drive jumpers that establish drive selects or
|
||
Master/Slave relationships follow the same rules as they would
|
||
in a single controller system. Do not set a MFM or RLL to Drive
|
||
select three!
|
||
|
||
4. Boot to the floppy diskette.
|
||
|
||
5. Use FDISK to define the Partition(s). The system will
|
||
automatically reboot to the A: drive after concluding FDISK.
|
||
|
||
6. FORMAT C: /S (Registered versions: including any other logical
|
||
drives in extended partitions without the /s).
|
||
|
||
7. Confirm that the hard drive boots without the floppy in A: and
|
||
can perform reads and writes, and is good working condition.
|
||
|
||
8. Restore the CMOS drive types to the ones used on the original
|
||
1st (and 2nd) drives. Power down the system and reinstall the
|
||
controller for the original drives.
|
||
|
||
9. Set the second Host Adapter for the "Secondary" drive to
|
||
Secondary Port Address 170h and disable IRQ14 monitoring. (see
|
||
below for examples of popular Host Adapter/Paddle Board and
|
||
Controller jumper settings). You do not have to make any changes
|
||
to the drive select jumpers or Master/Slave jumpers.
|
||
|
||
10. Reboot. The system should start in the same way it always has.
|
||
|
||
11. Copy the 3_DRIVES.HDD program into the root directory of the C:
|
||
drive and Edit the CONFIG.SYS file to include the line:
|
||
|
||
DEVICE=C:\3_DRIVES.HDD
|
||
|
||
This line should precede any other block device drivers (such a
|
||
RAMDRIVE.SYS). If a Disk Manager (tm Ontrack Computer Systems)
|
||
partition is installed on the original "Primary" drives, the
|
||
DEVICE=C:\3_DRIVES.HDD line should follow after DMDRVR.BIN.
|
||
|
||
12. Reboot. An 3_Drives installation screen (shown above) will
|
||
indicate the loading status of the device driver. The drive
|
||
letters assigned to the "Secondary" drive(s) will depend on the
|
||
number of partitions on your C: and D: drives.

These switches can be set up in the config.sys file after the complete
|
||
driver name and may or may not be separated by spaces or other
|
||
delimiters.
|
||
|
||
The following command line switch has been put into place for BOTH the
|
||
SHAREWARE and REGISTERED versions:
|
||
|
||
No Command Line Switches - Functionally equivalent to our previous
|
||
releases v1.1, v1.50, v2.10. Without any
|
||
of the Fast I/O options.
|
||
|
||
ATA - This switch enables new reset and recovery features that are
|
||
available on the newer ide 'ata' spec drives. You can try this
|
||
switch for improved error recovery on mfm/rll/esdi controllers
|
||
as well but if the driver locks up remove this switch.
|
||
|
||
The following command line switches have been put into place for the
|
||
REGISTERED versions:
|
||
|
||
M(?)(+) - Where M selects the multiple sector data transfer mode and
|
||
the ? is either a 0 to select this mode on the first drive
|
||
attached to the secondary controller or a 1 to select the
|
||
multiple sector data transfer mode for the second drive
|
||
attached to the secondary controller. The + is used to set
|
||
the block mode to the maximum that the drive can handle.
|
||
(CAUTION! use this with care as some drives will reserve
|
||
the entire read/write cache ram for multi-block data area.
|
||
This will slow the drives overall data xfer to an all time
|
||
low.
|
||
|
||
Examples:
|
||
device=driver.hdd M0 - selects multiple or block mode on
|
||
drive 0 only.
|
||
|
||
device=driver.hdd M0+ m1 - selects the multiple mode to be
|
||
enabled on both of the driven
|
||
drives. The first drive will
|
||
utilize the full capacity given
|
||
for block mode xfers.
|
||
|
||
RF(?) - Where RF = Read Fast, and the ? is defined as 0 for drive 0
|
||
and 1 for drive 1.
|
||
|
||
Examples:
|
||
device=driver.hdd rf0 - enables the read fast I/O
|
||
algorithm for drive 0 only.
|
||
|
||
device=driver.hdd rf0 RF1 - enables the read fast algorithm
|
||
on both of the driven drives.
|
||
|
||
WF(?) - Where WF = Write Fast and the ? selects drive 0 or drive 1.
|
||
|
||
Examples:
|
||
device=driver.hdd wf0 - enables the write fast algorithm
|
||
for drive 0 only.
|
||
|
||
device=driver.hdd wf0 wf1 - enables the write fast algorithm
|
||
for both drives.
|
||
|
||
Q - This switch enables a Quick driver init without delays usually
|
||
generated for display recognition.
|
||
|
||
P - This switch enables a "press c to continue.." pause after the
|
||
driver loads for debug and command switch confirmation.
|
||
|
||
3* - This switch stops 4_Drives from looking for a non-existent
|
||
fourth drive. Normally, the routines can determine the
|
||
presence or lack of the fourth drive unit. During our beta
|
||
testing, we ran in a drive/controller combination that
|
||
stubbornly reported a "phantom" fourth drive, this switch puts
|
||
a stop to that nonsense. (to clarify the switch, it is 3
|
||
asterisk)
|
||
|
||
MORE EXAMPLES:
|
||
device=driver.hdd m0 rf1 wf1 p
|
||
these switches will enable the following:
|
||
Multiple mode on drive 0, both Read Fast and Write Fast on
|
||
drive 1, the driver will Pause after loading until the letter
|
||
c is pressed.
|
||
|
||
device=driver.hdd wf0 p rf1 wf1 q
|
||
these switches will enable the following:
|
||
Write Fast on drive 0, a Pause until 'c' is pressed after the
|
||
driver loads, both Read Fast and Write Fast on drive 1, no
|
||
screen delays will be utilized in the init code.
|
||

In the past, three major factors have stood in the way of achieving
|
||
the elusive goal of supporting more than two hard disk drives or even
|
||
two disk drives of dissimilar interfaces. First, DOS versions prior
|
||
to the v5.0 would support a maximum of two physical hard disk drives.
|
||
The v5.0 DOS FDISK supports up to eight physical hard disk drives if
|
||
the Host Adapter is designed to follow the FDISK conventions of DOS
|
||
v5.0. (Some SCSI interface Host Adapters are now out in the
|
||
marketplace which have this support.)
|
||
|
||
Second, standard interface hard disk drive controllers (except for
|
||
SCSI) are limited to two physical drives. In the case of MFM, RLL and
|
||
ESDI, the drives usually have a Drive Select 3 and 4 jumper (DS3 &
|
||
DS4), but the controllers for these interfaces use the industry
|
||
standard "Daisychain" configuration which allows only two drives to be
|
||
connected. (The rare "Radial" configuration uses the DS3 and DS4.) In
|
||
the case of the new AT interface for hard disk drives, also known as
|
||
IDE, the controller is built onto the drive itself and is limited by
|
||
design to two physical drives per Host Adapter - Master and Slave.
|
||
|
||
Third, controllers for these interfaces usually require a drive type
|
||
number to be set in CMOS and only two slots are ever given by the
|
||
system BIOS.
|
||
|
||
Until 3_Drives/4_Drives, two AT controllers have generally been unable
|
||
to coexist because of a condition known as a "port address conflict."
|
||
In effect, both controllers canceled each other out because they
|
||
needed to use the same Hard Drive Primary Port Address, 1F0h. In its
|
||
default configuration, DOS only recognizes hard disk drives that are
|
||
attached to this Primary Port Address and communicates with them
|
||
through the system bios and INT13. A block device driver is required
|
||
to service drives that are attached to the common Secondary Port
|
||
Address, 170h; the 3_Drives/4_Drives device driver serves this
|
||
function.

|
||
|
||
An brief outline of how 3_Drives works is as follows:
|
||
|
||
After partitioning and formatting in the DOS environment, every hard
|
||
disk drive, regardless of interface, controller, or CPU has a very
|
||
special sector of information called the Master Boot Record (MBR). The
|
||
MBR is always the very first physical sector on the disk (cyl 0, hd 0,
|
||
sector 1), the contents of which 1) preserve the defined partition
|
||
structure, 2) contain the first executable instruction to begin
|
||
loading the active operating system, and 3) a final word signature in
|
||
the sector, AA55h, indicating a valid Master Boot Record.
|
||
|
||
Once a valid MBR is identified, the values stored in the partition
|
||
record of the MBR indicate the location of the DOS Boot Record (DBR)
|
||
which is generally located at logical cyl 0, hd 1, sector 1. This DOS
|
||
boot sector contains two vital components - the BIOS Parameter Block
|
||
(BPB) structure and a loader routine for the operating system . The
|
||
BPB provides a logical description of the hard disk drive's geometry
|
||
(logical blocks, heads, sectors per track, bytes per sector, etc.),
|
||
while the operating system loader establishes the names of the system
|
||
files IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS, their root directory locations and then
|
||
loads them into memory .
|
||
|
||
Next, the IO.SYS file is read into memory, followed by the MSDOS.SYS.
|
||
These are the names of the two hidden files which accompany
|
||
COMMAND.COM after formatting a bootable drive. These programs begin an
|
||
initialization routine which establishes the resident character and
|
||
block devices found during the Power On Self Test (POST) and
|
||
motherboard ROM BIOS initialization. Once the basic hardware has been
|
||
identified and the DOS kernel has been positioned into low memory, the
|
||
next stage is to run a system module within IO.SYS called SYSINIT. It
|
||
is at this time that the first of the Primary Port Address drive
|
||
letter designations are assigned (A:, B:, C:, etc.). These block
|
||
devices are given special handling at this point. For each, a pointer
|
||
to a BPB array is established in memory.
|
||
|
||
Next, begins the process we are most interested in, namely the
|
||
processing of the CONFIG.SYS file. The entire file is read into
|
||
memory and analyzed for block and character type device drivers. When
|
||
block device drivers are identified, like 3_Drives, their entries
|
||
are added to the drive translation table and given the next available
|
||
drive letter designation.
|
||
|
||
Device drivers, like regular programs (but not quite like regular
|
||
programs), have initialization code and resident code. The
|
||
initialization code in 3_Drives is the display banner and secondary
|
||
drive identification, while the resident portion is a collection of
|
||
routines handling very specific AT register set commands. The AT
|
||
register commands "talk" directly to the Secondary Port Address, 170h,
|
||
and therefore to the drive itself, and cover drive specific operations
|
||
like Read, Write, Recal, and Reset. It should be noted that the Format
|
||
command operation is not supported by 3_Drives, which is the reason
|
||
why the drive must be partitioned and prepared in a normal C:/D:
|
||
environment.
|
||
|
||
After all components of the CONFIG.SYS file are processed, SYSINIT's
|
||
final function is to load and execute the MS-DOS shell program,
|
||
COMMAND.COM. How DOS manipulates the resident (critical error
|
||
handling, for example) and transient portions (batch file processes,
|
||
COPY, and RENAME, etc.) of the shell are beyond the scope of this
|
||
overview.
|
||
|
||
Thereafter, during the normal course of operation of the computer
|
||
system, DOS commands which are directed towards the drive letter(s)
|
||
assigned to the 3_Drives block device(s) are executed through the
|
||
memory resident portion of 3_Drives.
|
||
|
||
3_Drives v2.5 will occupy a minimum of 4.1Kbytes of memory under DOS
|
||
5.0. In the registered versions of 3_Drives/4_Drives (v3.0), the
|
||
amount of memory required for the device driver will climb slightly by
|
||
÷48 bytes/drive, depending on the number of logical drives in extended
|
||
partitions, if any.

|
||
|
||
Some Application Notes:
|
||
|
||
1. The effect of the program on the performance of the system is
|
||
negligible.
|
||
|
||
2. The use of 3_Drives on XT's is DISALLOWED, since it relies
|
||
exclusively on AT register set commands which are only available
|
||
on 286's or higher.
|
||
|
||
3. If power supply leads are in short supply, a simple "Y" adapter
|
||
that splits two leads off of a single, are available at most
|
||
computer supply stores.
|
||
|
||
4. If two controllers are set to the SAME port address or share the
|
||
same IRQ, either floppy or hard, the system will hang during the
|
||
POST (Power On Self Test).
|
||
|
||
If both controllers have support for floppy drives, disable the
|
||
floppy support on the second. If a specific "disable floppy"
|
||
jumper is unavailable, then set the floppy to a secondary port
|
||
address (usually 370h) which effectively hides the conflict.
|
||
|
||
5. 3_Drives can be moved into upper memory under DOS 5 with
|
||
DEVICEHIGH=C:\your...path\3_DRIVES.HDD
|
||
|
||
6. 3_Drives shows all signs of complete stability with Microsoft
|
||
Windows (tm). In fact, our entire Windows subdirectory
|
||
structure is located on the "Secondary" drive! We have thrown in
|
||
everything we can think of to test Windows compatibility, and
|
||
all tests have proven successful. If you intend to use the drive
|
||
supported by the 3_Drives for the Swap File, then in must be of
|
||
the Temporary Swap File Type. (A Permanent Swap File requires
|
||
Int13 support.)
|
||
|
||
7. We've run three of the most popular file defragmenters without
|
||
problems. In any case, ALWAYS follow the software
|
||
manufacturer's instructions and BACKUP you data first.
|
||
|
||
8. DOS 2.x and above will run with the same partition and capacity
|
||
limits allowed by that version of DOS, however only DOS 3.0 and
|
||
above will show the proper drive letters on the 3_Drives
|
||
initialization screen.
|
||
|
||
9. 10 partitions per physical drive are allowed under 3_Drives
|
||
support. Registered v3.0 only.
|
||
|
||
10. "Tape-Over Method": It is possible to install a single MFM, RLL
|
||
or ESDI drive on the secondary port address and utilize
|
||
3_Drives. This process, however, is not as straight forward as
|
||
putting the AT/IDE on the secondary because typical ST412
|
||
interface controllers (MFM and RLL) usually do not have the
|
||
built-in ability to disable the IRQ14. If no jumper on the MFM
|
||
controller exists to disable IRQ14, then the line can usually be
|
||
disabled manually where it plugs into the motherboard.
|
||
|
||
On a 16-bit controller, the IRQ14 line is found on the back side
|
||
card edge, on the "short" 16-bit extension. It is the 7th
|
||
contact from the left or 12th from the right (D7). Usually,
|
||
placing a piece of simple transparent tape over the contact will
|
||
cause it to be disabled when the card is plugged into the
|
||
motherboard. It is advisable that you refrain from attempting
|
||
this configuration unless you have prior experience with
|
||
modifications of this sort. See below:

|
||
|
||
Note: Many manufacturers only plate the contacts that will be
|
||
needed on the card. Be sure to count spaces, not
|
||
actual plated contacts.
|
||
|
||
11. As noted earlier, some programs will not operate through
|
||
3_Drives (i.e. FDISK, FORMAT). This is because these programs
|
||
bypass DOS and do not update the partition's FAT (File
|
||
Allocation Table). Other examples of this are usually drive
|
||
diagnostics utilities. If programs of this sort are deemed
|
||
necessary to run, the drive will need to be reinstated on the
|
||
primary port address in order to be "seen" by the program.
|
||
|
||
12. The DOS ASSIGN utility can be used to set a drive on the
|
||
Secondary Port Address to C:, if desired. Simply execute the
|
||
command ASSIGN C:=E: E:=C: This will effectively swap the
|
||
assigned drive letters. Remember that CHKDSK will not run on
|
||
assigned or substituted drives. Running ASSIGN again, without
|
||
any command line parameters, will clear the assignment.
|
||
|
||
13. Popular drive compression programs work well with 3_Drives and
|
||
4_Drives. (In fact, this document is being written on drive
|
||
number 4, and is a compressed drive.) The important points to
|
||
remember are that 3_Drives needs to be loaded before the
|
||
compression drivers IF the Secondary Port Address drives are
|
||
being compressed. If the system is already compressed prior to
|
||
installing 3_Drives, then confusion could arise when it comes
|
||
time for the compression driver to assign the drive letter
|
||
designations, especially with the drive letter swapping and
|
||
reserved drive settings that are typical of compression
|
||
programs. To be absolutely safe, BE SURE to backup all data
|
||
prior to creating compressed drives.
|
||
|
||
14. RLL and ESDI controllers usually operate on the Primary Port
|
||
Address with an enabled on-board bios. This bios needs to be
|
||
disabled when used with 3_Drives on the Secondary Port Address.
|
||
The drive does not have to be lo-level formatted with the bios
|
||
disabled.
|
||
|
||
15. The driver installs in it's raw state eg., device=driver.hdd
|
||
will set the driver up in the "old", slow but sure I/O mode of
|
||
operation. If the driver loads ok with the Old switch but hangs
|
||
with data errors use the ATA switch. Use of the ATA switch
|
||
implements some of the new drive data error recovery techniques
|
||
employed by this version. The omission of the ATA switch is
|
||
provided as a bridge between these technologies.
|
||
|
||
16. The M(?) switch will only be enabled, indicated by a RED *
|
||
(led), if the drive selected by the (?) is capable of performing
|
||
multiple block mode data transfers. If the * (led) indicator
|
||
remains GREEN, then the drive rejected the multi-mode. You will
|
||
have to then edit the config.sys file to implement Fast Reads or
|
||
Writes as desired or utilize no I/O switches to default to the
|
||
old slow but sure mode.
|
||
|
||
17. Utilization of the M(?)+ plus switch addition to select the
|
||
maximum block xfer size will prove to be detrimental to the data
|
||
xfer rate on some drives. As the 'AT' world is ever changing,
|
||
some early drive models gave totally "unworkable" maximum block
|
||
sizes for this selection. If one were to select the size that
|
||
the drive offered, some drives would immediately lock up as part
|
||
of this overall buffer is utilized as drive firmware scratch
|
||
pad! We utilize an algorithm to (hopefully) select a workable
|
||
compromise of the total buffer area.
|
||
|
||
18. Multiple Block mode on some early drives though enabled, will
|
||
not work AT ALL with the driver as the early implementations of
|
||
this multi mode were faulty in their microcode.
|
||
|
||
19. Data xfer rates with the use of the Multi-mode will be more
|
||
noticed in systems that ask for large blocks of data in a single
|
||
request.
|
||
|
||
20. Fast Reads and Fast Writes are not mutually exclusive. Therefore
|
||
any or all combinations of Fast I/O will be allowed.
|
||
|
||
21. We will check the first 60 bytes of text after the = sign in the
|
||
device=driver.hdd line in the config.sys file for command line
|
||
switches. This should be adequate for all possible
|
||
configurations as described above.

The device driver may display a small assortment of error messages

=====Seagate ST-07A and ST-08A================
|
||
The ST-08A is a combination floppy drive and hard drive host adapter,
|
||
while the ST-07A is for hard drives only. The floppy support on the
|
||
ST-08A can be disabled making it functionally equivalent to the
|
||
ST-07A.

|

If set up as the 2nd Host Adapter for use with 3_Drives:
|
||
|
||
1. Add a jumper to JP2 (Disc/Diskette Address Select) which sets the
|
||
port to the secondary address at 170h. (New Seagate documentation
|
||
does not describe this jumper.)
|
||
|
||
2. Remove jumper from JP5 (Interrupt While Busy, IRQ14). The jumper
|
||
can be conveniently stored on a single pin.
|
||
|
||
3. If ST-08A, then remove jumper from JP4 (Diskette Controller
|
||
Enable) to disable the Floppy Controller).
