STACKER NOTE STACKER NOTE
STACKING A PALMTOP COMPUTER
(Applies to Stacker for Windows & DOS 3.0)
STAC FAX 3004 (08/19/93)
_________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
Stacker works great on DOS-based palmtop computers with hard RAM
drives. You need a special procedure to install it, however. This
procedure necessitates the use of a second, larger computer with
a hard disk and the ability to transfer files to the palmtop. The
larger computer should have at least 2 MB of free space on the
hard disk.
SOLUTION
You have to build an empty Stacker drive on the larger computer,
then copy it to the palmtop and arrange access.
1. Run the Stacker Setup program on the host computer as
described in the manual.
2. If offered a choice between "Express" and "Custom", choose
Custom and select a disk with free space.
3. When offered a choice between "Entire Drive" and "Free
Space", choose Free Space.
4. In the "Space to Use" field, type a value about 100 KB
smaller than your palmtop RAM card (minus any "boot" files
you require). Then choose Stack.
5. After Setup is finished, restart the larger computer to
mount the Stacker drive.
6. Transfer all the files from the palmtop to the new Stacker
drive.
7. Delete everything except the boot files from your palmtop
RAM card. Boot files are the DOS system files and device
drivers installed in the CONFIG.SYS file.
8. Transfer STACKER.COM from the larger computer to the root
directory of the RAM card.
9. To make the Stacker drive movable, type:
SATTRIB -A-H-R d:\STACVOL.000 <Enter>
where d is the drive where you created it.
10.Copy STACVOL.000 to the root directory of the RAM disk.
11.Use any text editor to edit the CONFIG.SYS file on the RAM
card and add this line:
DEVICE=C:\STACKER.COM C:\STACVOL.DSK
12.Restart the palmtop computer. You should now have a new
drive containing the data previously on drive C. This new
drive is assigned the next available drive letter, which in
most cases, will be drive D. Some programs may have to be
reconfigured due to their relocation.
13.If your 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 file:
DEVICE=C:\SSWAP.COM C:\STACVOL.DSK /SYNC
