			3 Mode Diskette 
			---------------

    Requirements when using 3.5" 1.2 MB diskette

	   H/W		3-mode type diskette drive
	   S/W		DISKETTE.SYS for installation in the CONFIG.SYS file
	   MEDIUM	2HD 3.5" diskette

	
    Installation methods:

	Using INSTALL.EXE in the \3mode\DOS directory, type INSTALL and 
        press ENTER, then input the boot drive letter, e.g. C:

	   device=C:\DISKETTE.SYS will then be added to the CONFIG.SYS
	   file.  At the same time, the CONFIG.SYS file will be backed
	   up as the CONFIG.ACR file.    If the root directory of the 
	   drive does not have a CONFIG.SYS file, one will be created
	   automatically.    
	   Simultaneously, the DISKETTE.SYS and FORMATER.EXE files are
	   also copied from the utility diskette to the root directory
	   of assigned drive.

	When the installation is successfully, the system will show the logic
	drive name of the 1.2 MB diskette drive at system power-on.
	Use this drive by specifying the logic drive name.
	For example, at power on, this message appears:

		DEVICE D: INSTALLED

	Your logic drive name is D.
	So when you want to scan the contents of your 1.2 MB diskette, at C:,
	type dir d:.  Other DOS commands can also be used as long as the logic
	drive name is specified.



    Formating the 1.2 MB diskette:

	At DOS prompt, type FORMATER, press ENTER.

	The screen will then display this message

	     The Three-Mode Format Utility Vx.xx

	   a. If you have only one 3-mode drive, this message will appear

		   Please insert diskette into drive [D]
		   press ENTER to continue or ESC to exit

	      After inserting the diskette, press Enter or ESC to exit.


	   b. If you have two 3-mode drives, this message appears

	     	   Which drive do you want to format [D:] or [E:] ?

	      After inserting the diskette, type the logic drive name.


	     * [D], [D:] or [E:] refers to your logic drive name.

    NOTE: If the string "device=C:\DISKETTE.SYS" has not yet been added, 
	  the following message will appear:
	   
	       "The Three-Mode Diskette driver does not exist."

	  If this happens, re-installation is required.
