  1.  please consider the code as absolutely not tested and be             
  2.  very careful. so far i have used it on adaptec 2940 and 15XX,        
  3.  ibm scsi w/wo cache with my maxoptix t4-2600. i have only 1024 b/s   
  4.  media. 2048 and dynamic change of 512/1024/2048 was not              
  5.  tested. please keep the distribution under control (do not put       
  6.  the package on the net). there are two reasons:                      
  7.                                                                       
  8.  1) i do not want to distribute not tested code;                      
  9.  2) that was my home project - i am not responsible for such          
  10.     type of work in ibm, and being an ibm employee i may              
  11.     violate ibm internal rules by distributing something from         
  12.     myself. the whole procedure is not clear for me at the moment...  
  13.  
  14.  command line options:                                                      
  15.                                                                             
  16.  /q      quiet;                                                             
  17.  /v      verbose;                                                           
  18.  /!N     skip device number N, do not virtualize device number N; 
  19.  /lr{:N} lock removable, locks media in removable device(s);                
  20.  /od{:N} optical to disk, reports optical(7) device(s) as disk(0) device(s);
  21.                                                                             
  22.  the last two options are not required with newdasd package. os2dasd.dmd    
  23.  from newdasd provides it's own /of and /rf options.                        
  24.                                                                             
  25.  please use /v switch - it will show you device numbers. in order to be able 
  26.  to read the output you will need pause.sys added to your config.sys as a 
  27.  first line:                   
  28.                                                                             
  29.  DEVICE=C:\PAUSE.SYS                                                        
  30.  IFS=C:\OS2\HPFS.IFS ....                                                   
  31.  .                                                                          
  32.  .                                                                          
  33.  .                                                                          
  34.                                                                             
  35.  you may place N512DASD.FLT just before OS2DASD:                            
  36.                                                                             
  37.  .                                                                          
  38.  .                                                                          
  39.  .                                                                          
  40.  BASEDEV=XDFLOPPY.FLT                                                       
  41.  BASEDEV=N512DASD.FLT /v                                                    
  42.  BASEDEV=OS2DASD.DMD /of /rf

  45.  .                                                                     
  46.                                                                        
  47.  after booting with N512DASD.FLT you should see one more HD, which you 
  48.  will need to partition and so on...
