STACKER works great on an IBM PS/1. However, There are a few things
you must do before and after installing STACKER on an IBM PS/1. The
following step-by-step procedure will prepare your PS/1 for STACKER:
Procedure:
Note: Step 1 is recommended, but not required.
1. Start IBM DOS from the 4th quadrant screen. Click on "Backup and
Restore Your Fixed Disk" and press <Enter>. Follow the prompts that
you are given to backup all of the files on your fixed disk.
NOTE: The number of diskettes will vary depending on the amount of
data on your hard disk.
2. Press <Shift>+<F9> to get to the DOS prompt after completing the
backup.
3. Type c:\dos\CUSTOMIZ and press the <Enter> key to setup the system.
(Customiz can also be run from the IBM DOS quadrant.)
4. The third line from the bottom of the screen says "Read
Config.sys:". Click on "From Disk".
5. The next line down says "Read Autoexec.bat:". Click on "From Disk".
6. The last line says "Disk to read from:". Click on "C:".
7. Press <Enter> to save the changes and exit CUSTOMIZ.
8. Restart your system by pressing <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Del>.
NOTE: At this point your computer will boot directly to the DOS
prompt.
9. You can now install STACKER by inserting the STACKER diskette and
typing: A:INSTALL /B=C
At the end of the STACKER install let STACKER reboot
to access the STACKER drive. This will again take you to the DOS
prompt.
10. To restore the PS/1 system menu, edit the Config.sys on drive C:
and insert the line: INSTALL=D:\SHELLSTB.COM (STACKER 2.0 users can use
SEDIT to modify Config.sys.)
11. Restart the system for changes to take affect.
