ASTCACHE AND 3.5" FLOPPY DRIVES
Premium computer users may encounter a "write protection error" message when
reading or writing to 720K or 1.44MB 3.5" floppy drives when using the
ASTCACHE program.
To correct this problem, use any of the following workarounds:
1. Disable advanced support for floppy writes either by adding the /D-
parameter, or change the /D+ to /D-, to the ASTCACHE line in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
2. Enable Auto-slowdown.
3. Don't cache the 1.44MB floppy, using the /-B option, (assuming drive
B is the 1.44MB drive, if drive A use the /-A parameter), on the
ASTCACHE line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
For more detailed information, consult the AST Premium Utility Software User's
Manual.
