I'm having trouble getting DOS 3.30 to load the 3.5" floppy device driver
for my IBM clone (a Toshiba T1100+ w/ 2ea 3.5" drives).  The new block
device driver file DRIVER.SYS will only set EXTERNAL drives, not internal.
For example, if my CONFIG.SYS contained:

	DEVICE=DRIVER.SYS /D:0 /F:2
	DEVICE=DRIVER.SYS /D:1 /F:2

A reboot would setup devices D: and E: ....  NOT A: and B:

In 3.20 there was a DRIVPARMS directive that could be set in CONFIG.SYS
that would load the correct driver.  Running a DOS equivalent of the UNIX
strings command on the new version of IBMBIO.COM shows a string "DRIVPARM"
(note the loss of the "S").  Has the syntax of DRIVPARM(S) changed?

Anybody got any ideas?

Does anyone have a copy of the DOS 3.30 Technical Reference Manual?
