Has anyone else out there tried to upgrade their 3170 to DOS 6.0? I encountered
the following problem.
After a successful install, I couldn't get my A: drive to work. Whenever I
tried to access it, I got an error message about an "Invalid drive switch", or
something to that effect (Sorry I can't be more specific).
Anyway, I called Microsoft Technical Support, and we wound up commenting out the
following standard line in the CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=C:\SSL25\DRIVERS\FD82365.SYS
This file makes the PCMCIA slot appear as a disk drive, if I'm not mistaken.
After a reboot, my A: drive worked fine.
Can anyone out there tell me what the solution to this problem is? I don't use
the PCMCIA right now, so it's not a crippling problem for me, but it does need
to be addressed.
Thanks,
Greg
