- PCPARK: Move heads to landing zone, beep, halt system.
-
- This program is a generic park program for IBM PC/XT/AT computers
- and their nearest clones. Its locates all hard disks in the system
- and moves their heads to their respective parking cylinders. For
- AT (286) type computers disk drives are parked in their designated
- landing zones. For PC and XT (8088/8086) type computers, the drives
- are parked at the inner most physical cylinder (diagnostic cylinder).
- The computer system is then put into a hard system halt. For all
- intents and purposes the computer is totally disabled from further
- use except by powering off and back on again.
-
- Status messages are displayed for each drive in the system. PCPARK
- may be used in systems where there are no hard disks to provide a
- program initiated system halt.
-
- This program operates at the ROM BIOS level for disk io and DOS
- function call level for everything else. An anomaly of the
- the program and its function is that if you run the program from a
- diskette drive, it parks all hard disks and halts the system before
- DOS has had time to turn off the diskette motor. It stays running
- until you power off. Best to run this program from a hard disk !
-
- The following option switches apply-
- /U -Unpark enables the return to DOS after parking. Without this
- parameter the computer system is put into a hard system halt.
-
-

- Compaq Portable 286- 20MB
