Using
Expansion Drives
If
you have expansion drives,
you
can
format
data diskettes for them also. They
may not
be able to use double-sided
diskettes, but
they can use single-sided
diskettes created in
a
double-sided drive.
You must apply the following patches to
TRSDOS in order to
use
your external drives:
I.Turn on your computer and start
up
TRSDOS with
a
backup
copy
of your

(First,
be sure the diskette's write-protect notch
is
not covered.)

"TRSDOS Ready," type:
PATCH BOOT/SYS. LSIDQS:0

PATCH BOOT/SYS. LSIDQS:0
CD02,8E=C3:F02,8E=C9) (ENTER
)
Note: After you apply the
patches,
you
must reset the computer
before using the
external drives.
3. At
"TRSDOS Ready,"
remove the diskette
from Drive and write protect
it with
a
foil
tab. Label the diskette "TRSDOS
6.x
4-

4. Reinsert the patched
diskette into Drive
and make
a
backup of
it for
day-to-day use.
