The Compaticard IV allows a computer system to use up to four floppy disk drives.

MORE INFORMATION
You can configure your system to use the Compaticard by following these steps:

 Edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file using a standard ASCII text editor such as Windows Notepad.  Modify the SMARTDRV.EXE line to disable the floppy cache. For example, enter      c:\windows\smartdrv.exe a- b- XXXX YYYY where &quot;xxxx&quot; refers to the SMARTDrive cache size at the MS-DOS level (before Windows starts). &quot;yyyy&quot; refers to the size of the cache after Windows starts.
