- Here are some helpful hints to overcome/avoid problems using MS.EM.
-
-
- 1) If you try to boot the ORIGINAL DOS 3.20 DISK you might see a pink "BA"
- appear on the screen. The ATARI cannot read the DOS MASTER diskette.
- In order to boot the system, you need to make a formatted diskette that
- has the system on it. DO NOT USE DISKCOPY to make a backup! The disk made
- by doing so will have the same problem as the DOS MASTER. You must
- use the following:
-
- USERS WITH SINGLE SIDED DRIVES:
- DOS 3.2 comes on a double sided diskete, and cannot be run directly.
- To run DOS 3.2, you must format a SINGLE SIDED DOS DISK on an
- IBM/LAPTOP/clone. Many IBM dealers don't use single sided systems
- very often and might think DOS 3.2 doesn't support single sided drives.
- Simply put the DOS disk in drive A, and the disk to be formatted in
- drive B. At the "A>" prompt, type
-
- FORMAT B:/1/S
-
- This will format the disk in drive b SINGLE SIDED and put the
- neccessary files needed to boot the system.
-
-
- USERS WITH DOUBLE SIDED DISKS
- Simply put the DOS disk in drive A, and the disk to be formatted in
- drive B. At the "A>" prompt, type
-
- FORMAT B:/S
-
- This will format the disk in drive b DOUBLE SIDED and put the
- neccesary files needed to boot the system.
-
-
- 2) With MS.EM version 1.00 the following commands/devices do not work.
- FORMAT,DISKCOPY,SELECT, and ansi.sys
-
- To update MS.EM to version 1.01 so that the above works, you must
- run MSPATCH.PRG. It will be located in ATARI16 in UTILITY SECTION.
- There will also be a documentation file and data file that must be
- used as well. The documentation file will be called MSPATCH.DOC.
- The data file will be called MSPATCH.DAT.
-
- These programs should be available by 1/5/1987 (monday).
-
- 3) We have had many complaints about the copy protection. It seems that
- there is not a copy program available that will make a useable backup disk.
- We have addressed this problem in two ways:
-
- a) We have lowered the price of our backups to $4.00 (which covers
- our cost for shipping and handling).
-
- b) MS.EM version 2.00 will contain two disks. One disk is to be used
- as the original, and the second is the backup.
-
-
-
- 4) MS.EM won't run my program.
-
- a) Contact us on Compuserve and ask if we have tested you particular
- Program.
-
- b) You can also send us a backup or a demo of the program and we will
- test it and find out why MS.EM does not support it. We will send
- back the original and destroy any copies that we make. Every registered
- owner that sends us a backup will receive a coupon good for $3.00 off
- MS.EM. Version 2.00.
-
- 5) I have not received any information about updates.
-
- a) MAIL IN YOUR REGISTRATION FORM!!!
-
- b) MAIL IN YOUR REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FORM!!

-
- I hope this helps out. If you have any other question or suggestions, please
