DRIVPARM does exist in DOS 3.3, but it is buggy. To get it to work, you need to have the character Control-A after the "=" character in the DRIVPARM line. For example, my CONFIG.SYS has the line DRIVPARM=^A/d:1 /f:2 (Where ^A indicates a single character with the numeric value 01) I think this was fixed in DOS 3.30A. -- Peter Fales AT&T, Room 5B-420 N9IYJ 2000 N.
