SYMPTOMS
This information applies to both Microsoft DoubleSpace and Microsoft DriveSpace. For MS-DOS 6.22, use DRVSPACE in place of DBLSPACE for commands and filenames.
DoubleSpace may fail to automatically mount compressed floppy disks in BackPack drives.
CAUSE
This problem occurs when the BACKPACK.SYS device driver is loaded after the DBLSPACE.SYS driver in the CONFIG.SYS file.
The DoubleSpace Automount code works on block device drivers only when they are loaded before DBLSPACE.SYS.
RESOLUTION
Load BACKPACK.SYS before DBLSPACE.SYS in the CONFIG.SYS file.
