Since the introduction of the last beta of the n512dasd.flt
have past two years and a lot of things have changed: the
newdasd package has become integrative part of the operating
system as well as a complete support for removable media
with the introduction of the fixpacks #35 for Warp 3 /
Warp LAN Server and #6 for Warp 4, respectively.
Unfortunately Alexander Terenkhov has ceased development of
his code but as it worked very well this wasn't that problem.
At about two years ago he left me the source code, but I never
acquired the necessary knowledge to work with.
With the introduction of fixpack #10 a bug was revealed causing
a trap at system boot.
Sam Detweiler was so kind to have a look at the sources to get
the bug fixed, with his usual commitment to OS/2.
As far as I can see the n512dasd.flt continues to work very well
with 512/1024/2048 bytes/sector media and fixpack #10.
Command line options haven't changed:
/q quiet;
/v verbose;
/!N skip device number N, do not virtualize device number N;
/lr{:N} lock removable, locks media in removable device(s);
/od{:N} optical to disk, reports optical(7) device(s) as disk(0) device(s);
the last two options are not required any longer as the os2dasd.dmd
offers the undocumented switch /of.
n512dasd.flt may be placed just before OS2DASD:
.
.
.
BASEDEV=XDFLOPPY.FLT
BASEDEV=N512DASD.FLT /v
BASEDEV=OS2DASD.DMD /of
.
.
.
after booting with N512DASD.FLT you should see one more HD, which you
will need to partition and to format...
