SETDSK_TXT extracted from UPDATE on 31 October 1994
Purpose: SETDSK is used to set the head step and tracks for the
FLOPPY controllers. This command will <not> work with the
HFDC. Refer to the HFDC user's manual for proper switch setting.
Usage:
SETDSK [drive number][head step][tracks]
[drive number] is from 1 to 4 and is valid ONLY for floppy
only controllers.
[head step] is from 0 to 3. Vary settings, "usually" 0
for optimal performance, but depends upon
floppy type.
[tracks] valid numbers are 4 or 8 to indicate 40 or
80 tracks respectively.
Examples:
SETDSK 104 sets drive 1, head step 0, 40 tracks
SETDSK 228 sets drive 2, head step 2, 80 tracks
SETDSK 308 sets drive 3, head step 0, 80 tracks
Notes:
Must leave only one space between command and options and
you must not separate the numbers or error report will
follow.
WARNING--> SETDSK parameters are LOST after a WARM BOOT until
re entered.
