(...Once again I go to the net for hope...)

This question went around about a month ago but I seem to forget
the correct solution.  Here's the problem :

Configuration: DTK Motherboard - XT Clone
               360K floppy drive as drive A: (5.25 disks)
               720K floppy drive as drive B: (3.5 disks)
                    These two connect to the same controller card
               20 Meg Segate hard disk as drice C:

My problem is that the 720K B: drive defaults to 360K.  I use
DRIVER.SYS to create a logical D: drive that uses the 3.5 drive
correctly at 720K, but the B: drive is still set to 360K.  I'm
trying to set the B: drive to 720K as a default.  I've tried
using DRIVPARM in CONFIG.SYS but get Unrecognized command errors.
(Using MSDOS DOS version 3.30 - manuals do give DRIVPARM as a
valid CONFIG command).  I remember something about CONTROL-A a
while back.  Can anyone help.

CONFIG.SYS
files=20 
buffers=16 
device=c:\dos\driver.sys /d:1     <-- I've tried drivparm=/d:1
device=c:\dos\nansi.sys 
device=c:\mouse\mouse.sys 
shell=c:\command.com /e:512 /p
