| I have an XT that requires DRIVER.SYS to operate a 720K 3.5" drive.  I
| accidentally dumped my CONFIG.SYS and do not know the parameters for
| DRIVER.SYS.  Please help!

This is from my config.sys file:

	drivparm=/d:1 /f:2 /h:2

If your MSDOS version has a certain bug (generally prior to v3.3) then it
will require three or four "CTRL-A" characters between the "=" and the
"/d:1" in order to work.  Dunno why.
