Re: Superdisk for microchannel?

In article <Xeikg.280$_r4.26@xxxxxxxx>,
ohland@xxxxxxxxxxx says...
Perhaps a floppy with ASPI4B.SYS, IBMCDROM.SYS, an AUTOEXEC.BAT and
CONFIG.SYS to enable using the IBM SCSI controller and a CD rom in order
to load the setup files for another OS. Like when you dump W98SE files
onto a drive, then run setup from there.

Unfortunately, this disk cannot have M$ DOS 7 [shark team!]. The user
can create a bootable floppy, then drop these files onto it.

Note: W98SE [probably W95 as well] will puke trying to install over IBM
DOS.

few years back i made a boot disk with cd-rom support .

I can send you an image or you can do it yourself

first format a FD ex: format A:/u/s /f:720 or 1.44

then copy this files to drive A:

ASPCDROM.SYS
ASPI4B.SYS
MSCDEX.EXE
EMM386.EXE
HIMEM.SYS

Optional
SYS.COM
FDISK.COM
FORMAT.COM
IBMCDPLY.EXE
HIMEMUPD.EXE

create AUTOEXEC.BAT

LH a:\MSCDEX /D:IBMCD001 /M:10
@ECHO OFF
PROMPT $p$g

create CONFIG.SYS

device=a:\aspi4b.sys
DEVICE=a:\HIMEM.SYS
rem DEVICE=a:\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
BUFFERS=30,0
FILES=30
DOS=HIGH,UMB
LASTDRIVE=Z
FCBS=4,0
STACKS=9,256
DEVICEHIGH=a:\ASPCDROM.SYS /I /P:2 /D:IBMCD001
