REMDISK.EXE
Purpose
This support command allows access to a disk drive on a remote system
via a serial cable and standard PC style (8250 UART) serial port.
Syntax
REMDISK [/U] [/?] [/B
nnnn] [+] [/COMn]
Parameters
n
/U
tells REMDISK to unload itself from memory, thereby disabling
the new drive letter and freeing the memory occupied by REMDISK.
The option can only be used when REMDISK is installed from the
DOS command line. A Remote Disk installed via CONFIG.SYS
cannot be unloaded.
n
/?
displays a short help screen for the REMDISK program. No other
arguments are to be included on the command line when the /? is
used.
n
/Bnnnn
selects the baud rate for transmission. Available baud rates
are 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115k.
The default baud rate is 115k.
n
+
is an optional argument which specifies packet style transmission.
This is recommended for any baud rates over 19200. The default for
this option is to include the + for packet transmission.
n
COMn
is an optional argument which selects the communication
port. Available ports are 1 and 2. COM1 is the default port.
Note
To use the Remote Disk, both the REMDISK and the REMSERV pro-
grams must be running on their respective systems. Both programs
must use the same baud rate and packet or non-packet style transmis-
sion. It does not matter which program is installed first.
Remarks
In a Remote Disk setup, one system, the one that will share its drives, is
termed the Server. The other system, the one that will access and use
the remote drives, is called the Client. The serial ports on both systems
must be connected via a null modem cable. A cabling diagram for a
standard cable is shown below.
