3 Mode Diskette for Japanese DOS
------------------------------------
Requirements when using 3.5" 1.2 MB diskette
H/W 3-mode type diskette drive
S/W DISKETTE.SYS for installation in the CONFIG.SYS file
MEDIUM 2HD 3.5" diskette
Installation methods:
Using INSTALL.EXE in the system utility diskette at, A: type INSTALL.
device=C:\DISKETTE.SYS will then be added to the CONFIG.SYS
file. At the same time, the CONFIG.SYS file will be backed
up as the CONFIG.ACR file. If the root directory of the
drive does not have a CONFIG.SYS file, one will be created
automatically.
Simultaneously, the DISKETTE.SYS and FORMATER.EXE files are
also copied from the utility diskette to the root directory
of assigned drive.
When the installation is successfully, the system will show the logic
drive name of the 1.2 MB diskette drive at system power-on.
Use this drive by specifying the logic drive name.
For example, at power on, this message appears:
DEVICE D: INSTALLED
Your logic drive name is D.
So when you want to scan the contents of your 1.2 MB diskette, at C:,
type dir d:. Other DOS commands can also be used as long as the logic
drive name is specified.
Formating the 1.2 MB diskette:
At DOS prompt, type FORMATER, press ENTER.
The screen will then display this message
