- You too can get 400k from your 360k disk drives using normal disks!
- ===================================================================
-
- Follow these steps:
-
- (1) Put the following line into your CONFIG.SYS
- DEVICE=400KDISK.BIN D D
- and then put the file 400kdisk.bin into your root directory on your
- hard disk or on a floppy.
-
- (2) Format disks using the program 400kform.com by typing this
- 400KFORM A:/E
- This will format the disks in less than a minute to 400k
-
- Now you are done, but you have to remember:
-
- If you have two floppies (A: and B:) and a hard disk (C:) like I do then:
-
- A: is the normal 360k floppy only
- B: is the normal 360k floppy only
- C: is the normal hard disk only
- but D: is the 360k AND 400k floppy drive (it knows when to be 360k or 400k)
- and E: is the 360k AND 400k floppy drive for B:
-
- if you have a different configuration than I do, then once you follow steps 1 and 2 and boot up, you can figure it out. Later !
-
- Let's compare:
-
- 360k floppy drive 400k floppy drive
- ================= =================
- 360k of disk space 400k of disk space
-
- formats in about 3 min formats in less than 1 min
-
- disk access slow disk access 3 times as fast
-
-
- Pretty nifty, heh?
-
- Well, check you home boys later... just remember not to be stingy.. upload
- this stuff to lots of bbs's so everyone can gain from it.
