- MODR-ASPI ( Micro Staff ASPI 3.5" MO Disk Drive Device Driver module and
- Utilities)
-
- MODR-ASPI is a package of ASPI 3.5" MO disk drive device driver module
- and utility software for the IBM PC/AT and compatible computers.
- MODRVR.SYS, MO disk drive driver, works with ASPI manager for
- Adaptec 152x, 154x, Trantor
- Mini SCSI plus and BusLogic BT542 SCSI
- adapters under MS-DOS 3.3x, 4.0x and 5.0x. MOFORM.EXE, MO disk formatter,
- formats 3.5" MO media to IBM 3.5" MO compatible format.
- MODR-ASPI supports the following 3.5" MO disk drives:
-
- SONY RMO-S350, RMO-S360
- RICOH RS-3100E
- PANASONIC LF-3000
- OLYMPUS MOS300S
- FUJITSU M2511A
- TOSHIBA OD-D300B

-
- 1. Installation
- Type MOINST and press Enter key, and follow the instructions displayed on
- the screen. This will copy the driver and utility programs into SCSI
- sub directory (default) and add MO disk drive device driver, MODRVR.SYS,
- in your CONFIG.SYS file.
-
- 2. Formatting MO disk
- MOFORM.EXE, MO disk formatting program, performs physical and logical
- format. Type MOFORM and press Enter key. The program will check for MO
- drive(s) connected to the SCSI adapter and display the following messages:
-
- ISO-type 3.5"/5" MO disk format utility ver x.x
- Copyright (c) 1989-1993 Micro Staff
- checking unit: 0
-
- If the program detects MO drives with SCSI ID 3 and 4 (for example), it
- will display the following message:
-
- ISO-type 3.5"/5" MO disk format utility ver x.x
- Copyright (c) 1989-1993 Micro Staff
- Enter unit no. (3-4, 'q' for exit) ->
-
- (If the program does not detect any drive, no unit number is displayed.
- Press q to exit and make sure that the cable and the terminator are
- properly connected and also MODRVR.SYS is added to the CONFIG.SYS file.)
-
- To format a MO disk in the drive with SCSI ID 3, press 3 and enter key.
- The following messages will be displayed:
-
- Unit 3: Drive name RICOH RO-3010E
- are you sure? (y/n)
-
- Enter y to proceed. The following messages will be displayed:
-
- do physical format? (will take 20 min.) (y/n)
-
- Enter y to perform both physical and logical format or n to perform only
- logical format. After formatting is completed, you will return to DOS
- prompt.
-
- 3. Other utilities
- a. BFC.EXE
- Compares binary files.
- Use to verify the writing after copying data including sub directory on a
- hard disk to a MO disk, using a command such as XCOPY.EXT.
- <syntax>
- bfc [option switches] file_name_1 file_name_2
- bfc [option switches] path_1 path_2 ..... directory
- bfc -r [option switches] directory_1 directory_2
-
- option switches:
- -r: compares sub directories too.
- -s: compares even if sizes are different.
- -m<number>: displays number of differences up to the number
- specified (default: 0).
-
- <example>
- bfc -r a: c:
-
- b. MOMAP.EXE
- Displays the SCSI ID number(s) and drive letter(s) assigned by DOS.
-
- c. MOLOCK.EXE
- Disables the eject switch on the MO drive.
- <syntax>
- MOLOCK <drive number>
-
- <example>
- molock d:
-
- d. MOUNLOCK.EXE
- Enables the eject switch on the MO drive.
- <syntax>
- MOUNLOCK <drive number>
-
- <example>
- mounlock d:
-
- e. MOEJECT.EXE
- Ejects the MO disk from the drive.
- <syntax>
- MOEJECT <drive number>
-
- <example>
- MOEJECT d:
-
- 3. Disk Driver
- MODRVR.SYS, driver module for MO disk drive, needs to be added to
- CONFIG.SYS file to use MO disk drives. With the driver the following
- disk medium can be used:
- Under MS-DOS 3.x: disks formatted by MOFORM.EXE
- Under MS-DOS 5.x: IBM formatted and MOFORM formatted disks
-
- Option switch settings:
- -h
- Enables to control hard disks as well as MO disk drives.
-
- -u <SCSI_ID.....>
- Sets SCSI ID(s) for 3.5" MO disk drive(s).
- To connect the drives with the ID numbers 3, 4 and 5 (for example),
- set -u345.
- Default setting: -u0123456.
-
- -v<SCSI_ID.....>
- Sets SCSI IDs for 3.5" MO disk drives that use Write & Verify when
- writing. This will increase data integrity as the data is verified
- when written. However, write speed will decrease.
- We recommend setting this switch as MO disks are structurally subject
- to dirt due to its removability.
