• In the third example, you run MakeDisk on the host, transfer the image file
to the JANUS device on a PC card, and run PutDisk on the JANUS device
to load the image file to drive D.
Example 1
In this example, the resulting image file will be larger than 256K, so you must
create the image file on the host computer if the JANUS RAM drive is
configured at 256K (factory default). This example assumes that the host
computer and the JANUS device can share a PC card.
1. Connect the JANUS device to a host computer using an appropriate serial
connection.
2. Create a source directory on the host computer by typing this command at
the host computer’s DOS prompt:
mkdir c:\drivec
3. Fill the source directory with all the files you want to include in the new
image file:
a. Copy the files from the current drive C to the source directory. Because
the host computer and JANUS device can share a PC card, you can
insert the card into the JANUS PC card drive and copy all files from
drive C to drive G. Then insert the card into the host computer’s PC
card drive and copy all the files to the source directory.
b. Add any other files and/or subdirectories to the working directory that
you want on drive C. These files may include source read-only data
files and applications for your JANUS device.
c. Edit AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, and other files in the source
directory as necessary.
4. Insert the JANUS Boot Utilities companion disk into a drive on the host PC.
5. Copy the self-expanding executable C_MAKE.EXE to drive C on the host
PC by typing:
copy a:\c_make.exe c:\
6 Run C_MAKE.EXE and delete all of the extracted files except for
MAKEDISK.EXE.
7. Type this command at the host computer’s DOS prompt:
makedisk /s=c:\drivec /o=newdrv.img
An image file, NEWDRV.IMG, is created in the working directory of the
host computer’s drive C.
Note: Do not create the image file in the directory where the source files reside.
