- Stacker works great on DOS based palmtop computers with hard RAM
- drives, however, a simple procedure must be followed in order to install
- it. This procedure necessitates the use of a second "host" computer
- with a hard drive and file transfer capability to the palmtop. The host
- computer should have at least 2 MB of free space on the hard disk.
-
- Procedure:
-
- 1. Run the Stacker install program on the host computer.
-
- 2. While in install, you want to "build an empty stacker drive". For
- the size of the drive you want to make it about 100k smaller than your
- palmtop ram card. (Minus any "boot" files you require.)
-
- 3. Reboot that computer so the stacker drive is mounted. Transfer all
- the files from the palmtop to that stacker drive.
-
- 4. Delete everything but the "boot" files from your palmtop ram card.
-
- 5. Transfer STACKER.COM and the STACVOL.DSK you created to the root
- directory of the ram card.
-
- 6. Edit Config.sys on the ram card and add the line:
- DEVICE=C:\STACKER.COM C:\STACVOL.DSK
-
- 7. Reboot the palmtop computer. You should now have all your programs
- on the D: drive. You may have to run some programs setup program to
- recognize that it's installed on the D: drive now.
-
- 8. If you wish to "SWAP" drives C: and D:, transfer SSWAP.COM to the
- root directory of the ram card and add the following lines to your Config.sys:
- DEVICE=C:\SSWAP.COM C:\STACVOL.DSK /SYNC
- SHELL=D:\COMMAND.COM
