Run REMDISK.EXE on the Client system. This program creates a new
drive letter for the Client. REMDISK will use the next available system
drive letter. For example, if the last assigned drive was D:, REMDISK
will create a drive E:. This drive acts in all ways just like any other
drive, except for the fact that it requires the serial port to do its job.
REMDISK.EXE can be installed using a DEVICE= command in
CONFIG.SYS or from the DOS prompt.
Example 1
To install the REMDISK program from CONFIG.SYS at 19200, on
COM1, using packet style transmission, enter the following in
CONFIG.SYS and then reboot the system (remember to include the full
path to find REMDISK.EXE if not located in the root directory):
DEVICE=REMDISK.EXE /
Example 2
To display a help screen for REMDISK, enter the following at the DOS
prompt:
REMDISK /?
Example 3
To install REMDISK from the DOS prompt or from a batch file (like
AUTOEXEC.BAT) at 9600 baud, without packet style transmission, on
COM2, enter the following;
REMDISK /B9600 /COM2
Example 4
To unload the REMDISK installed from the batch file or the DOS
prompt, type:
REMDISK /U
