For Older Ibm Pc Models - Everex Everdisk Owner's Manual And Reference Manual

6.1 For Older IBM PC Models
Some early models of the IBM PC (the PC 1) do not contain
the ROM BIOS codes which allow you to boot DOS directly
from the hard disk. For these systems, a software patch is
necessary for the PC to recognize the hard disk drive.
Everex Systems provides you with such a software patch.
This patch is called EVEREXl.EXE and is located on the
EVERDISK software diskette that accompanies your hard
disk subsystem.
On the left hand side of your IBM PC motherboard (near
the speaker) is a white label which indicates the model
number of the Pc. If it is labeled
16K - 64K CPU,
you have
a PC 1, if it is labeled
64K - 256K CPU,
you have a PC 2.
To Install the EVEREX1.EXE Patch:
1
Copy the file EVEREXl.EXE from your EVERDISK
utility diskette to your DOS system diskette.
2. Type in the following lines (DO NOT do this step if
you already have an AUTOEXEC.BAT file on your DOS
system diskette; instead use a text editor to enter the
line
everex1
in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file):
copy con: autoexec.bat [Enter]
everexl [Enter]
[F6]
[Enter]
