Thanks for all the replies that I have recieved.  There were many suggestions
such as DRIVPARM and DRIVER.SYS, BIOS upgrade, a new controller, etc.  I
tried using DRIVER.SYS, but it does not work exactly like DRIVPARM, and instead
uses the next available drive, which I did not like.  This would work, but
then I would have to refer to this drive as e: in order to format it.  Finally
I revieved an excellent tip that I can use DRIVPARM with PC-DOS 3.3 by adding
a control-a after the = sign in my config.sys:

DRIVPARM=^A/d:1 /f:2

Thanks for all the suggestions.
