- ADDRIVE.COM
-
- Use ADDRIVE.COM to bypass the resetting of the system board
- floppy drive configuration switches when using the SUPERDRV
- ramdisk from AST Research.
-
- Normally, before using SUPERDRV, you must open your PC and
- set these switches as though your SUPERDRV were a real floppy
- drive. ADDRIVE allows you to 'configure' the PC without actually
- changing the switch settings.
-
- Syntax: ADDRIVE x:
-
- Where x: = B:, C: or D:.
-
- If the specified drive is already indicated in the BIOS
- flags, ADDRIVE just exits. Otherwise, ADDRIVE will reset the
- BIOS flags to indicate the existence of the specified drive (and
- any missing drives preceeding it), and cause DOS to re-boot.
- Thus you can use ADDRIVE in an AUTOEXEC.BAT file without causing
- an infinite loop.
-
- You should use ADDRIVE before loading any resident routines.
-
- Example AUTOEXEC.BAT file: echo off
- addrive c:
- superdrv c:/u=192
