1. The ide+.blk driver does not...
- I hope that the new version (ide++ from
11.22.97 and ide_tune.com from 11.28.97) removed
All these questions are muddy.
2. The bad.com program hangs...
- There was a flaw in the ide++ driver.
The new version of the ide+3.blk driver is deprived
this shortcoming.
3. The date.com program, called from Windows
she writes the date on the screw, but in pa-
the date comes from the device with
which was loaded. Georgia-
get off the screw. Problem solved.
4. Program "Russian-English Slo-
var" like everyone elsedatabases in isdos pi-
fated by Alexander Demidov for about 3 years
that. It is unlikely that even he will be able to answer
these questions, because, for sure, I forgot everything.
I can only provide the texts of the word itself
cooking Use them as a viewer and editor, like
Your humble servant does as well.
5. Program "Business Calendar"...
- see previous paragraph. "About that-
what a picture in other programs of this
kind of."
- That's for sure. :-(
6. Program "Picasso"...
- Try to contact directly -
but to the developer Nikolai Fedorov by phone
Lefon: 2398889.
THEY WILL DEFINITELY HELP YOU! (words of
Fedorova :-)
For questions like this, feel free to contact
also contact Nemo by phone 159-55-69 or at
bad luck right to me (550-76-71 after
13:00)
7. Happy owner of an 80-megabyte
Winchester was not entirely happy
by the fact that we divided his screw into 6 examples -
but equal devices of 55420 blocks each (13.5
MV). BAs a result, he was left with 2 of his own
baud devices: A and H, while this
the user would like as device B
have a 3-inch floppy drive. Is it possible to increase
Limit device sizes up to 20 MV, inte-
he hesitates, fearing to recreate the
swarms, because afraid that the system will over-
tahet boot from the hard drive.
ANSWER:
Increase the size of devices, of course,
possible, but only up to 16 MB (65528 blocks).
The limitation is due to the 2-byte number
tion of blocks in the system and change this almost
it's as easy as writing a new system
topic. However, in this case there is
several ways out of the situation.
1. Using the dev.com program, disable the device
part B from the hard drive driver and connection
Connect to the floppy drive driver. 13.5 MV st-
chickpeas are temporarily unavailable. How to get to
they can always be either with the help of everything
the same program dev.com, or nepehact-
poub hard drive driver via installation
swarm ide_tune.com. By the way, this method
will be the only one if you purchase
hard drive larger than 128 MB. Remember-
those or better write down in several different
places the numbers of the cylinders on which thedevices are found on your hard drive.
Change the cylinder number in the ide_- program
tune will take a few seconds. Call prog
hang the frames on some key
or in the user menu. Need to be configured
driver located in memory with the command:
ide_tune /m ide+3.blk
2. Winchester 81.34 MB can be divided into
5 devices of 16 MV each. In the future I, vi-
Definitely, that’s what I’ll do. True, ours is not
an absolutely happy client would lose
in this case 1.34 MB (about 5488 blocks).
You can do this yourself, although
Of course, extreme action must be taken
be careful!
2.1 Copy the entire device C to
something else or, just in case of fire -
two, for example, E and F. Use
Call the program abc+.com.
2.2 Format the floppy disk to use
dos chic and make it downloadable. For
To do this, copy the file extent.txt to it,
SHELL and BOOT directories, is_dos.rom files,
bootsc.com, kau_boot.bat, sv.com, con.com
Switch the system to drive A (call menu)
key <9>). Launch sv.com,
then kau_boot.bat. Check your download
floppy disk bridge andavailability of hard drive from
this system.
2.3 Copy the customizer to a floppy disk
ide_tune hard drive drivers. File is_-
dos.sys from the directory C: BOOT somehow
rename and store carefully. System
isdos implies that it can be re-
configure and save in a convenient way for you
configurations on disk using the sv.com program,
however, if you save it after any
If there is any failure, then it is possible that it is a glitch
will be preserved along with the system and will continue to
always. You can also archive it at
floppy disks - everything you're afraid of losing,
although this may already be reinsurance.
2.4 If device C on your hard drive
tere starts from cylinder 0 and you increase
ensure that your hard drive does not have faulty
tracks, then feel free to create a device

0th cylinder (this must be a device
C) create.com program. "boot" option
should be in the "No boot" position. Options
Double/Single, Tracks, and Sec Size
that will not affect.
2.5 Copy all directories back and
files from a copy of the system (device E or
F) to device C. In this case, use
program coca.com (key ), but neither
IN WHICHCASE HE abc+ or abc!!
2.6 In the BOOT catalog, connect the system
program kau_con.com and check the download
System capacity from hard drive.
2.7 Release all other devices
two hard drives. Copy everything from them
necessary. It might be better to do this
even in paragraph 2.3, because now devices
C and D overlap temporarily. Be careful
Be careful when copying from D to C!
2.8 Use the ide_tune program to reconfigure
cylinder numbers in the hard drive driver
so that the devices turn out as desired
size. Same as in the first option
configure the driver in memory, i.e. call-
Enter ide_tune with the /m switch. Before now
It’s better to reboot with a swarm, and then -
save the system with the sv.com program on
device C (it must be system!)
and connect the system again using the program
y_con.com. Check your download again
system capacity from a hard drive.
2.9 Using the create program, create a device
units of the required size on disks D, E, F
etc.
8. When trying to startprogram
The third version of ISDOS displays a control error.
role of the command file amount (Error
250).
- Batch file checksum
checked by the system when it starts with
28.11.94. Apparently you either have an older one
version, or dishonest distribution
The system threads have turned off the automatic
checksum verification. From 6.5.96
to this day this can be done with a program
check.com. However, it's better to just count
checksums of all files on the disk
manda "@scan ch+ *.*". If you have WW1
RAM, then you can greatly speed up the process
cess by copying the entire disk to an electronic
disk (ed128gam) with abc program. (Program
ma abc+ uses 256KB as buffer
copying in this case can
spoil the information on the electronic dis-
ke).
9. When you try to open old disks from
the new system produces errors 9, 87 and 86.
- On iS-DOS in January 1997
made some format changes
disk title and directories.
To switch to the new format, write
demon.com program on an old device
"DSK" with offset #0D in the 0th block of the old-
thdisk.
Then run the program new_cats.com
