Folks, I have a problem with dos 3.2 on several different machines. Please help me by responding via mail. The problem is: I have added a 3.5" drive to several machines including an AST prem. 286 running dos 3.2. I put in a 3.5" floppy disk into the machine, execute dir and get the proper response. I change the diskette and execute dir and get the directory of the old diskette. I have heard this to be a DOS related problem. Can anyone help me with a solution. Any software that I can write to solve the problem? Please send me your replies via mail to: ihnp4!decuac!macom1!accva1!reza

They only support drive ready which is not enough for an AT. I would contact the manufacturer and talk to them. Bill Wilson

Just leave out the /C parameter to DRIVER.SYS; that tells the device driver that the drive does not support the changeline feature. (At least that's what the documentation says.)
