You too can get 400k from your 360k disk drives using normal disks!
===================================================================
Follow these steps:
(1) Put the following line into your CONFIG.SYS
DEVICE=400KDISK.BIN D D
and then put the file 400kdisk.bin into your root directory on your
hard disk or on a floppy.
(2) Format disks using the program 400kform.com by typing this
400KFORM A:/E
This will format the disks in less than a minute to 400k
Now you are done, but you have to remember:
If you have two floppies (A: and B:) and a hard disk (C:) like I do then:
A: is the normal 360k floppy only
B: is the normal 360k floppy only
C: is the normal hard disk only
but D: is the 360k AND 400k floppy drive (it knows when to be 360k or 400k)
and E: is the 360k AND 400k floppy drive for B:
if you have a different configuration than I do, then once you follow steps 1 and 2 and boot up, you can figure it out. Later !
Let's compare:
360k floppy drive 400k floppy drive
================= =================
360k of disk space 400k of disk space
formats in about 3 min formats in less than 1 min
disk access slow disk access 3 times as fast
Pretty nifty, heh?
Well, check you home boys later... just remember not to be stingy.. upload
this stuff to lots of bbs's so everyone can gain from it.
