This will work for now , but keep the software on a floppy !
That way you can uninstall it later if you use the drive in a system that
doesn't need BIOS overlay!
Once you have installed DM, FDISK and Format CAN'T get rid of it! Only the
uninstall or a low-level format can do that!
(Good Idea.... wrap the floppy in aluminum foil , then in a sandwich bag,
and tape it on top of the drive!)-
