Please read the TAPEDISK Users Manual for further information on use of
TAPEDISK.  Then consult the configuration information file.


Problem resolution notes
------------------------
Additional information concerning compatibility issues, installation
problems and equipment irregularities will be listed in a file titled
TECHNOTE.TXT.

If you have problems in installation or in operation of TAPEDISK please
consult this file.


General configuration information
---------------------------------
TAPEDISK requires a Virtual-86 Memory Manager such as HIMEM.SYS+EMM386.EXE,
QEMM, 386MAX, NETROOM or others.

The Virtual-86 Memory Manager must be instructed to enable the EMS Page Frame.

You must install the SCSI host adapter's ASPI manager. Exceptions to this
requirement are listed in the configuration information files. 

You must load the TAPEDISK driver in an appropriate location in CONFIG.SYS.
TAPEDISK can load as a TSR, or in AUTOEXEC.BAT.  But for most situations
it should load in CONFIG.SYS.

TAPEDISK is a block structured device driver.  As such, DOS assigns it's
drive letter in relation to it's load order in CONFIG.SYS.  If you have disk
compression software you may be required to install the TAPEDISK driver
after the compression software.


Sample CONFIG.SYS
-----------------
	DOS=HIGH, UMB
	FILES=60
	BUFFERS=20
	DEVICE=C:\SCSI\ASPI4DOS.SYS /d
	DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
	DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE 2600 RAM D=64
	DEVICEHIGH=C:\TD653\TAPEDISK.EXE /ID=2
	INSTALL=C:\TD653\TDGETMEM.EXE D: /EMS=2500
	...
	
You should set PATH to include C:\TD653.


Manual procedure for unpacking files
------------------------------------
1) Chose a name for the directory in which to place the TAPEDISK
   software. We suggest that the name contains the version number
   of TAPEDISK such as TD653 on drive C:.

2) If the name of this directory exists as a result of a failed
   installation then remove this directory first.
   
   DELTREE C:\TD653   

3) Create the directory for TAPEDISK.

   MD C:\TD653
   
4) Set the current drive and directory to the TAPEDISK directory.

   C:
   CD \TD653
   
5) Insert the first diskette into the diskette drive (e.g. A:) and copy
   all the files to the TAPEDISK directory. Do not copy any files from
   any additional directories at this time.
   
   COPY A:\*.*
   
6) Unpack FILES.EXE

   FILES
   
7) If there are additional diskettes then for each diskette:

   a) Insert the diskette
   b) Copy the files to the TAPEDISK directory (say yes to replace file)
   
      COPY A:\*.*
       
   c) Unpack FILES2.EXE		(or FILES3.EXE)
   
      FILES2			(or FILES3)
      
8) Create the DRIVERS, SRC and VXD16 directories

   MD DRIVERS
   MD SRC
   MD VXD16
   
9) Set current directory to the drivers directory

   CD DRIVERS
   
10) Unpack the drivers

    \TD653\DRIVERS
    
11) Set current directory to the source directory

    CD \TD653\SRC
    
12) Unpack source files

    \TD653\SRC

13) Set current directory to the VxD 16 directory

    CD \TD653\VXD16

14) Unpack the VXD16 files

    \TD653\VXD16
    
15) Set current directory to the TAPEDISK directory.

    CD \TD653
    
16) Delete extra files.

    DEL FILES?.EXE
    DEL DRIVERS.EXE
    DEL SRC.EXE
    DEL VXD16.EXE
