Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

                            DRIVER.SYS──Examples
 
To add an external 720K drive to your system, add the following line to your
CONFIG.SYS file:
 
    device=driver.sys /d:2
 
Since no location is specified, MS-DOS searches for DRIVER.SYS in the root
directory of your startup drive.
 
Suppose you want to use a single 1.44-megabyte external disk drive to copy
files from one floppy disk to another. To do this, you must add two
identical DEVICE commands for DRIVER.SYS in your CONFIG.SYS file. This
procedure assigns two logical drive letters to the same physical drive. You
can then swap disks in the same drive during the copying process. The
following example shows how to do this:
 
    device=driver.sys /d:2 /f:7
    device=driver.sys /d:2 /f:7
