‘’702:’’ identifies a disk drive at address 2 and unit 0 connected to an HP card at select code 7. If both an
HP card and an National Instrument card are connected to the same select code, then only the HP card
will be recognized. This is usually not a problem since the customary select code of the HP card is 7, and
the customary board name for the National Instrument card is ‘’GPIB0’’ (select code 1). The LIF
programs are capable of working with both boards installed simultaneously (e.g., LIF copy from a disk
drive on the HP card to a disk drive on the National Instrument card).
LIF SCAN indicates how to address a LIF disk in an external drive, not a DOS disk. If a DOS disk is in
your external drive, you cannot access it as ‘’702:’’ or ‘’70201:’’. Instead, use the letter drive code that
DOS has assigned (e.g., E: or F:).
MS-DOS requires that an external drive be powered up and connected at power-on to be recognized as an
MS-DOS drive. The LIF program do not require external drives to be on at power-on to be accessible as
a LIF drive.
