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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

                              DRIVPARM──Notes
 
Using the /I switch
 
Use the /I switch if your system does not support 3.5-inch floppy disk
drives. (Some IBM PC/AT-compatible systems do not have a ROM BIOS that
supports 3.5-inch floppy disk drives.)
 
Disk drive change-line support
 
Change-line support means that a physical disk drive can detect whether the
drive door is opened and closed. Change-line support improves performance by
letting MS-DOS know when one floppy disk has been replaced by another. The
/C switch allows MS-DOS to make use of change-line support. To find out
whether your disk drive has change-line support, see your disk-drive
documentation.
 
Creating a logical drive
 
DRIVPARM modifies the parameters of an existing physical drive and does not
create a new logical drive.
