STACKER NOTE STACKER NOTE
STACKER AND QEMM 7.0
(Applies to Stacker 3.1 for Windows and DOS and MS-DOS 6)
STAC FAX 31101 (08/93)
_________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
If you use QEMM 7.0 to load STACKER high while SMARTDRV.EXE 4.0
(from Windows 3.1) is running, the system will not be able to
access the Stacker drive. You may see a message like:
Invalid unit reading drive {drive}
where {drive} indicates the Stacker drive.
According to Quarterdeck Office Systems (QEMM 7.0), this problem
arises only when SMARTDRV.EXE from WINDOWS 3.1 is in memory.
SMARTDRV is unable to locate STACKER's "footprint" in memory, so
it ignores STACKER's drives. Use the procedure below to force
the "footprint" to be left behind for SMARTDRV to locate.
PROCEDURE
To let SMARTDRV recognize your Stacker drives, add the QEMM
undocumented "/STUB" switch to the STACHIGH.SYS line in the
CONFIG.SYS file. Use the following procedure:
1. Edit your CONFIG.SYS file to modify to QEMM device driver
line. Type:
ED C:\CONFIG.SYS <Enter>
2. Locate a line that looks something like this:
DEVICE=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:1 C:\STACKER\STACHIGH.SYS
3. Use the arrow keys to position the cursor, then modify the
line to look like this:
DEVICE=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /STUB /R:1 C:\STACKER\STACHIGH.SYS
4. Save the CONFIG.SYS file and exit to DOS.
5. Restart your computer.
Note
QEMM has a maintenance release (7.01) that
solves this problem. Contact Quarterdeck for
details.
