[comp.sys.ibm.pc] What does DRIVPARM do?

I've read with interest how to use DRIVPARM from DOS 3.3, and I admit
that my curiosity is piqued.  Exactly what does DRIVPARM do?  I've
never heard of it before.

DRIVEPARM changes the specs for the DOS drivers to whatever you specify.
For instance, a lot of XT clones automatically recognize drives A and B
as 360K floopies.  Using DRIVEPARM, one can change this configuration
to different types of drives (1.2M,720K,etc.)
Note:DRIVEPARM will change one configuration each time it is in the
config.sys file.
