- You don't want (or need) to do that. The OS/2 Hardcard driver
- provides all the support you need for these specific DOS sessions and
- DOS emulated sessions. In your specific DOS sessions, just make sure
- that you're using the \OS2\MDOS\FSFILTER.SYS device driver in your
- CONFIG.SYS. Copy the file to your boot floppy, and list it as the
- first device driver in CONFIG.SYS.
