Note: If your system does use these offsets for drive 2 - 8 then be
sure to record the values used and restore these values whenever
the drive

data stored

unusable.
Updating the virtual drive table (for 20 MB drives only)
EXECUTING THIS OPTION WILL DESTROY
DATA ON
THE DRIVE. DO NOT PROCEED UNLESS YOU HAVE
BACKED UP ALL DATA ON THE DRIVE.
You should stiff be running the diagnostic program. Select the
DRIVE PARAMETERS option, task V, as shown before.
Since you want to set up the drive for two drive emulation, you
enter
0 as the track offset for drive one, and 9xx (947, 976, or other)
for drive two. Enter a negative sign ( - ) for the track offset for
drive three (or the last drive). The negative says that this is the end
of the table.
BE SURE TO USE THE CORRECT NUMBER AS THE
TRACK OFFSET OF THE SECOND DRIVE. WHILE USE
OF ANOTHER NUMBER MAY WORK FOR A WHILE,
EVENTUALLY THINGS MAY START TO OVERWRITE
ONE
ANOTHER. ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE USING
PIPES.
To finish the update, you must answer Y to the questions about
writing changes back
to disk, when you exit the drive parameters
section.
