- INSTRUCTIONS FOR RUNNING THE PCSIG EDUCATION CD UNDER DOS 6.0
- -------------------------------------------------------------
- The Education CD-ROM will work under DOS 6.0. However, there seems to
- be a conflict between some drivers and DOS 6.0. Because of these
- conflicts, this CD and many other programs will not run correctly. There
- is a simple cure. You need to make a boot disk containing your CD-ROM
- driver and your DBLSPACE driver. This is easy to do.
-
- 1) Insert a blank disk in drive A:
-
- 2) Format the disk in drive A:, with the SYSTEM parameter
- C:\>FORMAT A: /S
-
- 3) Copy your AUTOEXEC.BAT, and CONFIG.SYS files to the boot disk
- C:\>COPY AUTOEXEC.BAT A:
- C:\>COPY CONFIG.SYS A:
-
- 4) Finally, you need to edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT, and CONFIG.SYS on the boot
- drive to disable everything EXCEPT your CD-Rom driver, and your
- DBLSPACE driver (Assuming you are running DBLSPACE)
- A:\>EDIT CONFIG.SYS
- A:\>EDIT AUTOEXEC.BAT
-
- Here is an example of a modified AUTOEXEC.BAT, and CONFIG.SYS.
- It will not be identical to yours unless you have the EXACT same
- setup as I do. Each one is different, but it's not hard to
- figure out.
-
- AUTOEXEC.BAT
- ------------
- @echo off
- path=c:\4dos;c:\dos;d:\windows <--- Your path
- C:\CDROM\MSCDEX /D:MDIHSDVR <--- CD-Rom driver
-
-
- CONFIG.SYS
- ----------
- DEVICE=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE <--- Setver (needed
- by most CD-Roms)
- Shell=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM /P /E:300 <--- DOS shell
- DEVICE=C:\CDROM\CM153.MSC /U:1 /D:MDIHSDVR <--- CD Driver
-
-
- 5) Reboot your computer, and let the computer boot from the A: drive
-
- 6) Change to your CD-ROM drive letter, and type: INSTALL
- and Follow the directions.
-
- That's all there is to it. From here, you should not have a problem
- accessing the CD-ROM running under the new DOS 6.0. If you still have
- problems, consult your DOS 6.0 manual, and if all else fails, give our
- technical support department a call at (408)730-9291.
