The files APTIVA.CD1, APTIVA.DK2 and APTIVA.UPD in this package are images
of real diskettes. To re-create the diskettes from the image files you need
both XDF (eXtended Data Format) and LOADDSKF support.
XDF Imaging from an OS/2 System.
----------------------------
OS/2 1.X cannot be used to image these diskettes. An OS/2 2.X system can be
used. A new file, XDFLOPPY.FLT. OS/2 WARP versions of IBM1FLPY.ADD and
IBM2FLPY.ADD are also needed.
ISA Systems.
Rename IBM1FLPY.ADD to IBM1FLPY.OLD in the \OS2 directory.
Copy XDFLOPPY.FLT and IBM1FLPY.ADD to the OS/2 directory.
Add the following line to your CONFIG.SYS:
BASEDEV=XDFLOPPY.FLT
IBM MicroChannel Systems.
Rename IBM2FLPY.ADD to IBM2FLPY.OLD in the \OS2 directory.
Copy XDFLOPPY.FLT and IBM2FLPY.ADD. Add the following line
to your CONFIG.SYS:
BASEDEV=XDFLOPPY.FLT
IBM MicroChannel Systems with separately loadable ABIOS or PCM MicroChannel
Systems (Reply and NCR).
Rename IBM1FLPY.ADD to IBM1FLPY.OLD in the \OS2 directory.
Copy XDFLOPPY.FLT and IBM1FLPY.ADD. Add the following line
to your CONFIG.SYS:
BASEDEV=XDFLOPPY.FLT
Change the following line in your CONFIG.SYS:
BASEDEV=IBM2FLPY.ADD to BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD /MCA
Once you have completed the necessary change to CONFIG.SYS and copied the
necessary files to your harddisk you must shutdown and reboot your system.
XDF Imaging from a native DOS system.
---------------------------------
No change to CONFIG.SYS is required.
LOADDSKF can be found on Bulletin Board Systems as LDF.COM. Download and
enter LDF. This will create the LOADDSKF.EXE program on your harddisk.
Procedure for Imaging Diskettes
-------------------------------
Issue the following commands from a command prompt, from a native DOS, OS/2
or OS/2 DOS session:
To create the APTIVA.CD1 diskette
Put a 2MB (High Density) 3.5 diskette in A:
LOADDSKF APTIVA.UPD A: /F
Remove the diskette from A:
Label it "CD-ROM Diskette 1 - Replacement Diskette"
To create the APTIVA.DK2 diskette
Put a 2MB (High Density) 3.5 diskette in A:
XDFCOPY APTIVA.CD2 A:
Remove the diskette from A:
Label it "Diskette 2 - Replacement Diskette 2"
See Note 1 #####
To create the APTIVA.UPD diskette
Put a 2MB (High Density) 3.5 diskette in A:
LOADDSKF APTIVA.UPD A: /F
Remove diskette from A:
Label it "Aptiva Applications Program Update Diskette"
Note 1:
This diskette is in XDF format which is a new compression format that allows
more data to be placed on a 3.5 HD diskette. This diskettes have a software
write protection. You cannot erase files or bundle files or add files to
these diskettes.
