                  PASSWORD PROTECTED STACKER DRIVES & QEMM
                   (Applies to Stacker version  3.1 & 4.0)

      BACKGROUND
      
      Stacker password protected drives are fully compatible with the
      QEMM users who use the DOSDATA.SYS function of QEMM. However,
      at startup QEMM's DOSDATA.SYS performs a mini-reboot and
      temporarily disables your monitor. You cannot see Stacker
      prompting you for your password a second time after DOSDATA.SYS
      runs. This note will assist in the configuration of QEMM's
      DOSDATA.SYS in a Stacker password protected drive environment.
      
      SOLUTION
      
         - Restart your computer.
         - Configure DOSDATA.SYS to work with your Stacker Password
           Protected Drive.
           
      Restart your computer.
      
      When you restart your computer and enter your password, it may
      appear to hang at a mostly blank screen with a blinking cursor.
      Since the monitor is disabled at this point, you cannot see
      Stacker prompting you for your password a second time. Just enter
      your password and press <enter> to continue booting.
      
      Configure DOSDATA.SYS to work with your Stacker Password
      Protected Drive.
      
      Modify your CONFIG.SYS by adding an additional parameter to
      DOSDATA.SYS's configuration. Use any text editor such as DOS's
      EDIT or Stacker's ED.EXE. Add "/ALTVIDEO-" to the DOSDATA.SYS
      line in the CONFIG.SYS.
      
       1.  Locate the DOSDATA.SYS line in your CONFIG.SYS. It usually
           appears at or near the beginning of the file. It should
           resemble this:
           DEVICE=C:\QEMM\DOSDATA.SYS
       2.  Add  "/ALTVIDEO-" to the end of the line. (Do not type the
           quotation marks). It should now appear like this:
           DEVICE=C:\QEMM\DOSDATA.SYS  /ALTVIDEO-
       3.  Save the file and restart your computer.
       4.  Enter your password when prompted.
