Microsoft DOS 6.2 Setup may not correctly recognize some Stacker drives.
If you have trouble upgrading to MS-DOS 6.2, follow these steps.
Before upgrading to MS-DOS 6.2:
1. Completely exit Windows or any other shell.
2. At the DOS prompt, type STAC62 and press ENTER.
3. Set up MS-DOS 6.2 as usual.
After upgrading to MS-DOS 6.2:
1. After MS-DOS 6.2 restarts your computer, change to your Stacker directory
(probably C:\STACKER).
2. At the DOS prompt, type STACKER and press ENTER.
Note the drive letter in brackets on the drive C: line.
3. Change to that drive by typing drive: (for example D:) and pressing ENTER.
4. Now, change to the DOS directory by typing CD DOS and pressing ENTER.
5. Type
COPY C:\DOS\ATTRIB.EXE and press ENTER.
Press Y to answer Yes to the overwrite prompt.
6. Type
COPY C:\DOS\CHKDSK.EXE and press ENTER.
Press Y to answer Yes to the overwrite prompt.
You can now use Stacker and MS-DOS 6.2.
Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
