[comp.unix.i386] Upgrading Merge386

root@mccc.uucp (Pete Holsberg) (10/25/89)

Is there any way to forcefeed DOS 3.3 to Merge so that it will recognize
the 1.44MB 3.5" floppy I have as drive B?  Sys V/386 recognizes it very
nicely, but Merge formats it as a 1.2MB thing.  Thanks.

  I *think* you can use driver.sys to get the format right.

I think not.  Merge contains DOS 3.2 and it doesn't support 1.44 MB floppies
(at least, my manual doesn't show an /f: value for a 1.44 MB floppy).
