MODISK.DMD

MO device manager driver from Fujitsu.

DEVICE=\OS2\MODISK.DMD

Parameters

• /Rn or /R:n

(Number of reserved drives) 'n' is a number between 1 and 10. Default is 1. A series of logical drive names can be reserved for each MO drive for future partitioning. If the number of valid partitions exceeds the number specified /R option, and if /S option is not specified, up to 16 partitions are allowed.

• /S

(Reserved drive priority) No more logical drives than the number of /R option is assigned. When the number of reserved drives specified with the /R option is fewer than the number of valid partitions on a disk, the number of reserved drives takes priority. For example, if there are four valid partitions on the disk and the number of reserved drives is specified at 3, a logical drive name cannot be assigned to the fourth partition, and hence it cannot be accessed.

• /I {h:} m {[n]} {+-{h:} m {[n]}}+-...

(Specify the drive ID) This parameter specifies the target MO drive by the host adapter number and SCSI ID number. If this option is not used, all accessible MO drives are used by default. h is the host adapter number (between 0 and 9). The default is 0. m is the SCSI ID number (0 to 7). n is the number of reserved drives. When 'n' is omitted, the value specified with the /R option is used.

• /U:{IDE adapter name}

(Required, specify IDE adapter driver) This parameter is not optional but required both for ATAPIMO.FLT and MODISK.DMD. You must specify same name for these two drivers. Usually '/U:ST506_HardDrive' works fine if 'IBM1S506.ADD' or 'IBM2S506.ADD' is used as IDE adapter driver.
