Title says it. I can only find them in Imagedisk
format, but IMD does not
recognize my Compaticard IV (why on earth does it restrict you to drives
A-D??).
Why on earth did IBM define the PC with only enough bits in the drive select/
motor on register for 4 drives ... A-D are the standard drives suspported by
the hardware -- anything else needs "special drivers" and I'm just not
going
there... But you can get a full refund with the "DELETE" command so all is
not lost.
More good news! - The source code to ImageDisk is available for download from
my site, so instead of complaining about it, you can put in however much time
you think should have been put into supporting your special hardware yourself!
