The LOCKDRIVE Filter (LOCKDRV.FLT) converts Removable DASD and R/W Optical drives to fixed disks which are managed by the OS/2 DASD Manager (OS2DASD.DMD).

BASEDEV=LOCKDRV.FLT /UNIT:0,1 ... n

Where: /UNIT: - Specifies devices to be locked.

Devices are numbered starting with the first Removable DASD or R/W Optical Device (SCSI Types: 0 or 7).

Notes:

CD-ROM and Diskette (A:, B:) devices are not included in this count.
The BASEDEV= statement for LOCKDRV.FLT may be put in any where in CONFIG.SYS.

However, if other Filter ADDs are installed, then the LOCKDRV statement must appear in the proper order with regard to other Filter ADD statements.
