IBM1FLPY Driver
---------------
This driver corrects a number of problems in parsing command line
parameters. Use of the command line options provided below may
correct compatibility problems with OEM supplied equipment.
The revised OS2DASD.DMD provided should be installed when this
this driver is installed. The original IBM1FLPY and OS2DASD
binaries should be retained.
Customers are encouraged to discuss OS/2 compatibility problems with
their controller supplier since they are best equipped to assist
in resolving compatibility problems with IBM.
IBM1FLPY Command Line Parameters
--------------------------------
BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD /MCA - Load on uChannel Machine
/A: - Adapter ID <0 - 1>
/IRQ: - Interrupt Level <0 - n>
/DMA: - DMA Channel Number <0 - n>
/P: - Controller I/O Address <hhhh>
/U: - Drive Number <0 - 3>
/F: - Drive Capacity <360KB...2.88MB>
/CL: - Changeline Type <NONE,AT,PS2>
/SPEC: - Controller Specify Bytes <hh,hh>
Command Line Paramters - General Information
--------------------------------------------
IBM1FLPY normally obtains diskette drive information from the host system
BIOS. If the information supplied by the host system is incorrect or if
the BIOS does not support a third or fourth floppy drive, it may be
necessary to provide this information on the IBM1FLPY command line.
In addition, command line parameters may be used to support a second
installed floppy controller which would not normally have host system
BIOS support.
Examples:
Define a third 1.2MB Floppy drive:
BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD /A:0 /U:2 /F:1.2MB
Override the ChangeLine type for the (B:) drive
BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD /A:0 /U:1 /CL:NONE
Support a 1.2MB OEM drive attached to a uChannel machine:
rem BASEDEV=IBM2FLPY.ADD
BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD /MCA /A:0 /U:1 /F:1.2MB
Note: The /MCA option is required on MicroChannel systems. If it is not
specified, the driver will automatically deinstall itself.
Support a second installed floppy controller:
BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD
BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD /A:0 /DMA:3 /IRQ:10 /P:370 /U:0 /F:1.44MB --+
+-----------+
+----/U:1 /F:1.2MB
Note: Choices of /DMA, /IRQ and /P depend on the supplier of the floppy
controller. Consult the supplier of the controller for the
appropriate settings for these values.
The first drive supported by the second controller will be
assigned B: if this drive letter is available. Specifing
/A:1 will cause the second controller to be assigned drive
other than A: or B:.
