If exist c:\user.bat 
c:\user 

If a file named USER.BAT is on drive C, the 
terminal runs that batch file. You can create a 
USER.BAT file that includes changes to modify 
drive A rather than having to recreate and reload 
the drive A image. 

 

 

The default CONFIG.SYS file contains one command line. 

rem 
device=b:\vdisk.sys 

You can use the VDISK.SYS command to create a 
virtual ROM-DOS RAM drive. The command is 
remarked out in the CONFIG.SYS file so that 
there is no RAM drive. For help, see “Configuring 
a DOS RAM Drive” on page 325. 

 

 

The contents of drive A cannot be changed directly. The default 
AUTOEXEC.BAT file checks for a USER.BAT file on drive C that you 
can use to execute startup commands or files without changing drive A. To 
change or add files on drive A, you must use the DOS software tools 
MAKE_A.BAT and PUT_A.BAT.  

On the PC, create a new directory or folder named DOSTOOLS and 
copy the DOS tools MAKE_A.BAT and PUT_A.BAT into this 
directory.  

You can download the DOS software tools and a copy of the original 
drive A files from the Intermec web site. For help, see “Trakker Antares 
DOS Software Tools” on page 321. 

In the DOSTOOLS directory, create a subdirectory named DRIVEA 
that contains all the drive A files. For example, the directory may 
contain ANTIFS.EXE, AUTOEXEC.BAT, COMMAND.COM, 
COMMAND.HLP, and CONFIG.SYS. 

 

Note: Make sure to include ALL drive A files on the DRIVEA 
subdirectory. The contents of this subdirectory will replace the contents 
of drive A. 

Edit one of the existing drive A files such as the AUTOEXEC.BAT or 
CONFIG.SYS file. You can also create a new batch file or TSR to add 
to drive A and put the file in the DRIVEA subdirectory.
