Disk Drives, Organization, Software, & Configurations
5-6
Falcon
®
DOS Portable Terminals
Drive C
Drive
C
is a resident flash disk drive that is accessed via the
flashdsk.sys
device driver. By default, this drive is configured to have full read and write
access. The default
config.sys
and
autoexec.bat
files reside here.
These files can be modified to customize the system for an application. They
will be called after the
config.sys
and
autoexec.bat
files on drives
A
and
B
are processed.
The Falcon Configuration Utility provides the ability to customize what
software tools and utilities are placed on the unit. By default, the utility installs
this software to the
C
drive. If the unit is intended to be used with PC cards,
then the Phoenix PC card drivers are installed in the PCM subdirectory on the
C
drive, and the proper entries will be transferred into the
config.sys
and
autoexec.bat
files. The exact configuration of files and the contents of the
config.sys
and
autoexec.bat
files will change according to the
configuration of the unit.
For RF capability, additional files for network connectivity would be required.
These might include a Telnet program or peer-to-peer networking tools,
depending on what is installed.
If something happens to a unit and data integrity becomes questionable, use
the CHKDSK utility to detect and correct errors on drive
C
. (
Chkdsk.com
does not come installed on the Falcon. Download it using XFER or the Falcon
Configuration Utility.)
Drive D
Drive
D
is a RAM disk drive. This drive resides in extended memory and is
1MB in size (3 MB for models
31x
with 4 MB of RAM).
