Sb: MS-DOS 3.3 PATCH
Fm: MIKE PELCHAT 73337,3171
To: [F] All

I "was" having a problem with my T3KHL, (01.03.02 BIOS ROM upgrade & MS-DOS
3.3), in that the b: 3.5 720K drive would not execute subsequent DIR commands. 
I would place a disk in the drive & enter DIR, the files, & the bytes free
displayed ok, as it should!  * HOWEVER * Upon subsequent DIR requests with a
different disk, the same files, and bytes free would be displayed from the
original disk.  Bummer !  So I called DFW, and I got this nifty little patch,
works great !!

c:>patch ibmbio.com,4e0c,74,eb <return>
c:>patch ibmbio.com,1ea1,30,41 <return>

Also add this line to the config.sys ......

drivparm = /dd:1 /f:2

Life can be beautiful .....
