"/f#" sets the number of FCBs reserved for files on NFS drives. [I hope that was just a typo on your part.] An example: if your PC has physical drives A:, B: and C:, and you need to mount 3 NFS drives, you can do the following: (1) use NFSCONF to define the mounted drives as D:, E: and F: (2) edit your CONFIG.SYS file to add "/d3" to your PCNFS.SYS line and set LASTDRIVE=F This causes DOS to set up a short LDT (logical drive table) with entries for drives A-F. When Windows starts up, the file manager will try to determine the state of each drive in the LDT. Since all entries are valid, it won't complain. -- Geoff Arnold, PC-NFS architect, Sun Microsystems.
