Guide with two CD drives
Bill J Gray Feb 1, 2002
Hi John,
I can't say I went to great lengths to get two CD-drive systems
to work. But it can be done, by editing STARTUP.MAR and looking
at line 18:
18 cd drive d:\
... where 'd' will be whichever drive you installed from. If you wanted
to add a second drive with letter, say, e:, you'd change this to read
18 cd drive d:\;e:\
Guide will then check both drives to see if either has a Guide-related
CD. All possible combinations will work (i.e., disk 1 in d: and 2 in e:,
or vice versa, or disk 1 in either drive with the other empty, or disk
2 in either drive with the other empty... and if you've done at least a
"minimal install", you could run with no Guide CD in either drive.)
(For 'empty', you can also read "containing a CD irrelevant to Guide.")
