Appendix B / Configuring
Thur
System
IF:n specifies
the
form factor index. n
can
be:
o =
320/360K
floppy
1
= 1.2 M floppy
2 = 720K floppy (3lf2-inch drive)
3
= 8-inch single-density floppy
4
= 8-inch double-density floppy
5
=
hard
disk
6
=
tape
drive
7 = other
If
you
omit
IF, DRIVPARM uses a default of 2 (720K).
IH:n
specifies
the
maximum
head number. n is a value
in
the
range
1 to 99.
IN
tells MS-DOS
that
the
device is non-removable.
IS:n specifies
the
number
of sectors
per
track. n is a value
in
the
range
1 to 99.
IT:n specifies
the
number
of
tracks
per side. n is a value
in
the
range
1 to 999.
Example:
You
might
have a computer
with
an
internal
tape
drive
unit
on
Drive D
that
is configured
at
boot time to
write
20
tracks
of 40
sectors
per
track.
If
you
want
to reconfigure
this
tape
drive to
write
10
tracks
of 99 sectors each, you can
put
the
following line
in
your CONFIG.SYS file:
drivparm=/d:3
/f:6
/h:1
/5:99
/t:10
This
overrides
the
default device driver settings,
and
supports a
tape
drive
as
Drive
D.
(In
this
case,
the
logical
and
physical
drive
numbers
are
identical.)
This
tape
drive
has
one head,
and
supports a format of 10
tracks
and 99 sectors per
track
(assum-
ing
that
the
device driver
for
the
tape
drive also supports
this
configuration).
You
might
want
to
use
this
method to create a
tape
that
you
can
read on another computer
that
reads only
this
format.
