Converting TRSDOS Diskettes
to
TRSDOS 2.0b
Diskettes
If
you
do
not have enough drives for the above method, you will
want to convert your
TRSDOS diskettes.
A special file called THINLINE
is
supplied on the TRSDOS 2.0b
System Diskette. When you
copy
this file to a TRSDOS diskette, it
makes a patch
to
TRSDOS which allows
it
to run on Thinline
drives,
You
do
not need
to
patch data diskettes since they do not contain
TRSDOS.
