I have an NCR Decision-mate V (five) running MSDOS 2.11.  I ran across some
software that checks for the disk in drive A.  This software must have been
written for the IBM machine, because it says to insert a formatted disk in
drive A.  I inserted a formatted disk, but the software didn't detect it.
Needless to say, I got no further with that program.

Has anyone else out there encountered this problem with your machine?  It
really has me stumped.

Please email your replies, and I will summarize to save bandwidth.
