MANIFEST VERSION 1.11 REPORTING 1.44 MB FLOPPY DRIVES AS
"UNKNOWN"
Manifest reports 1.44 MB floppy drives as "UNKNOWN" in the
System/CMOS section. This report is a mistake by Manifest and
does not prejudice the way any other Quarterdeck product uses the
floppy drives.
Here is a patch to eliminate the problem:
1) Make a copy of the MFT.EXE file in your QEMM (or QRAM)
directory. We are about to alter your current copy of MFT.EXE;
the copy you make will serve as a backup in case this operation
fails.
COPY C:\QEMM\MFT.EXE C:\QEMM\MFTOLD.EXE
(If your MFT.EXE is not located in the QEMM directory of the C:
drive, change the path accordingly.)
2) Rename MFT.EXE to X. To do this, go to the QEMM directory
and type:
REN MFT.EXE X
(If your MFT.EXE is not located in the QEMM directory, go to the
directory in which it is located.)
3) Go to the DOS directory on the hard disk and type:
DEBUG C:\QEMM\X
(If your MFT.EXE is not located in the QEMM directory of the C:
drive, change the path accordingly.)
Hit the Enter key; you should see the DEBUG prompt, which is a
hyphen.
4) At the DEBUG prompt, type:
S 1000 L8000 4 73 A
Hit the Enter key; DEBUG should return a segment address and
offset, in the following format:
xxxx:yyyy
5) At the DEBUG prompt again, use the segment address and offset
that was just returned to give the DEBUG command:
E xxxx:yyyy 5
The address that DEBUG returned in step 4 should be used in place
of the address xxxx:yyyy, which we use as an example. Hit the
Enter the key after your command; the DEBUG prompt should return
in a moment.
6) At the DEBUG prompt, type:
W
Hit the Enter key; DEBUG will announce that it is writing a
certain number of bytes, then it will return the DEBUG prompt.
7) At the DEBUG prompt, type:
Q
Hit the Enter key to exit DEBUG and return to DOS.
8) Rename X to MFT.EXE. To do this at the DOS prompt, type:
REN X MFT.EXE
(If your MFT.EXE is not located in the QEMM directory, go to the
directory in which it is located.)
--------------------------------------------------
If the system fails after you perform this patch, copy the backup
of MFT.EXE that you made back to its original name.
COPY C:\QEMM\MFTOLD.EXE C:\QEMM\MFT.EXE
(If your MFT.EXE is not located in the QEMM directory of the C:
drive, change the path accordingly.)
You may then wish to try the above procedure again, in case a
mistake was made.
