I know this has been hashed over before but I just started reading
this newsgroup a couple of weeks ago when I got this old PC/XT. I
installed a 720K drive(3.5 inch) with DOS 3.3 and thought I would
tell the OS about this disk via the drivparm operation in config.sys.
Well to make a long story short, I cannot get drivparm to work at
all.  I just get invalid command in config.sys.  The line in
config.sys that I use is: drivparm=/d:1/f:2 which I think should
tell the OS that I have a 3.5 inch 720K drive for drive b:  If
there is something I am doing wrong I would appreciate any pointers.
Thanks
