Stacker works great on DOS based palmtop computers with hard RAM
|
|
drives, however, a simple procedure must be followed in order to install
|
|
it. This procedure necessitates the use of a second "host" computer
|
|
with a hard drive and file transfer capability to the palmtop. The host
|
|
computer should have at least 2 MB of free space on the hard disk.
|
|
|
|
Procedure:
|
|
|
|
1. Run the Stacker install program on the host computer.
|
|
|
|
2. While in install, you want to "build an empty stacker drive". For
|
|
the size of the drive you want to make it about 100k smaller than your
|
|
palmtop ram card. (Minus any "boot" files you require.)
|
|
|
|
3. Reboot that computer so the stacker drive is mounted. Transfer all
|
|
the files from the palmtop to that stacker drive.
|
|
|
|
4. Delete everything but the "boot" files from your palmtop ram card.
|
|
|
|
5. Transfer STACKER.COM and the STACVOL.DSK you created to the root
|
|
directory of the ram card.
|
|
|
|
6. Edit Config.sys on the ram card and add the line:
|
|
DEVICE=C:\STACKER.COM C:\STACVOL.DSK
|
|
|
|
7. Reboot the palmtop computer. You should now have all your programs
|
|
on the D: drive. You may have to run some programs setup program to
|
|
recognize that it's installed on the D: drive now.
|
|
|
|
8. If you wish to "SWAP" drives C: and D:, transfer SSWAP.COM to the
|
|
root directory of the ram card and add the following lines to your Config.sys:
|
|
DEVICE=C:\SSWAP.COM C:\STACVOL.DSK /SYNC
|
|
SHELL=D:\COMMAND.COM
