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.
