Using MS-DOS 6 with DNA Lanmarc Network Software (96758)

MORE INFORMATION

• You must use DNA Lanmarc Network version 6.0 or later. If you use a version earlier than 6.0, you receive the following error message:
  Error #839 Incompatible Version
• You must disable the network drivers in the CONFIG.SYS file before you run MS-DOS 6 Upgrade Setup. To do this, remark out the following lines.

        rem device=\lanmarc\master.sys
        rem device=\lanmarc\print.sys
        rem device=\lanmarc\spool.sys
  						

  After you remark out these device drivers, restart the computer and run Setup. If you plan to install DoubleSpace, do so before you remove the REM statements and restart the computer to regain your network functionality.
• When you run DoubleSpace, CHKDSK, or Defragmenter, you must start your computer without loading the previously mentioned DNA Lanmarc network drivers. To do this, restart your computer and press the F8 function key when "Starting MS-DOS..." is displayed. You can then step through your CONFIG.SYS file, bypassing the network device drivers.
  
  Some DoubleSpace features (such as LIST, CHKDSK, MOUNT, and UNMOUNT) do not work correctly unless the network is disabled.
  
  NOTE: DoubleSpace does not compress some of the DNA Lanmarc Network files. These files remain on the uncompressed host drive.
