  Isn't PC_DDRVR.SYS a driver for 720K floppies for MSDOS versions 2.x???
I thought that PC_HDH.SYS was the driver to allow access to more than one
hard disk partition.
   By the way, has anyone ever got this driver to work? I would like to use
my other hard disk partitions, but cannot figure out how to get set it up
in the CONFIG.SYS file. The file HARDDISK.DOC on the PC-DITTO disk is meant
to tell you about this, but on my disk I can't read this file because of
bad sectors (I've got a second hand copy.) Could someone please show me an
example of how to access partitions D,E & F from PC-DITTO I? Thanks.
