- Head Step Rate Adjustment Utility
- Part of the FAST! Utility Diskette
-
- Some computers have a problem with their diskette drives when operating
- under DOS version 3.x. We have found that you will get a "griding"
- noise each time the drive is accessed. The problem is cause by having
- an incorrect step rate for the floppy drive head. STEP.COM is a small
- (6 byte) program to set the proper step rate upon boot up of the machine.
- You can put the STEP program in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and have it load
- each time your machine boots up. We suggest trying your machine both
- without it installed and with it installed and see if there is a difference.
- If you do notice one then leave it installed. If not than remove it.
- STEP does not fix all drive noise problems, but does cure some that we
- have found, and therefore we have included as part of FAST!.
