- Anyone able to tell me how to mess with the messydos lastdrive parameter
- which can be set in config.sys ? I want to overcome a very boring
- "feature" of silverplatter "multiplatter" which absolutely insists that
- the lastdrive be set to J - this makes network login a pain and the
- cdserver is on the network. I can survive with a boot disk for access but
- it seems like a very clumsy way to use a very expensive piece of
- hardware/software. I'd like to write myself a utility to kludge the
- lastdrive temporarily while I access multiplatter, then undo the damage
- after I've finished.
-
- All advice welcome - email me and I'll summarise for the net
