The /D: value should be 0 for drive A. 3 . The drive must be physically selected, as well. You will find a shorting block designated SS1 on the drive. If installed as A, the jumper should be installed on DO. For drive B, install it on D1. 4 . For drive A, use the cable from connector CN9 on the main board. For B, use CN10.

SUBJECT: EQUITY II WITH THE EPSON 3.5" FLOPPY DRIVE
The Equity
II
has been tested with the Epson 3.5" floppy disk
drive (A112A-AA).
The purpose of this bulletin
is to detail
the proper procedure for installation and configuration.
1.
The Equity must be upgraded to MS-DOS 3.2 (Q395A-AA).
2.
The appropriate DRIVPARM command must be added to
the CONFIG.SYS file. This defines the correct
parameters for block devices (such as disk drives)
under MS-DOS. While there are a number of switches
to the DRIVPARM command, only two concern us: the
logical drive number and the form factor index. For
example, to set up the drive as B, add the line:
DRIVPARM = /D:1 /F:2
to the CONFIG.SYS file. This establishes it as the
second logical drive with a 720KB form factor index.
The /D: value should be 0 for drive A.
3.
The drive must be physically selected, as well. You
will find a shorting block designated SS1 on the
drive. If installed as A, the jumper should be
installed on DO. For drive B, install it on D1.
4.
For drive A, use the cable from connector CN9 on
the main board. For B, use CN10.
For more information on the DRIVPARM command, please refer to
the chapter "Configuring Your System" in the MS-DOS 3.2 manual.
