- Docs to PatchDMS
-
- I've written this 'hack' so that I could un-dms some high density
- disks that a mate gave me... basically DMS now supports high density
- disks so (as I have a Power XL high density external drive) I
- (foolishly) thought that I could use DMS as follows :
-
- DMS write disk.dms to DF1: HD
-
- well, it loads up, but then asks for the high density disk to be
- insterted into DF0:, shit, my HD is DF1:, how can I get around this..
-
- I came up with this patch that enables you to patch all openings of
- the trackdisk.device with unit 0 (ie DF0:) to any other device, here
- are few examples :
-
- PatchDMS "trackdisk.device" 1
-
- (Patch all direct track access to DF0: to use DF1:)
-
- PatchDMS "fmsdisk.device" 0
-
- (Patch all direct track access to DF0: to use an FMS file on your
- hard disk)
-
- The bottom one is especially useful if you have got a dms'd disk that
- was high density, but not a high density drive, if you set up the fms
- file to have :
-
- BlocksPerTrack = 22
- LowCyl = 0
- HighCyl = 79
-
- then you'll be able to un-dms those HD disks, and copy the files
- elsewhere!!
