From: Billy <BRACKENRIDGE@USC-ISIB> We recently took delivery of a pair of expansion cabinets for the IBM-PC. Installation was easy 10 Megabytes of disk is wonderful and lots of slots is even better. For all of Dos 2.0's many faults it is a great improvement over stretching DOS 1.1 to a large disk. I was surprised to find that the diagnostics were able to survey the system and find all of my devices. It was also able to tell whether the device was in the expansion cabinet or in the main chassis. Does anybody know how the PC can tell where a device is? We have no equivalent of the blue technical reference manual for the expansion chassis. Can the Tecmar or other expansion units duplicate this feature?
