Running DOS PC Support/400 in OS/2 V2.0

This appendix covers the instructions for the installation of DOS PC Support/400under OS/2 V2.0, and the restrictions for this environment.

In DOS PC Support/400, the Shared Folders device driver is a block device driver. Since the virtual DOS machine of OS/2 V2.0 does not support block device drivers, DOS PC Support/400 must be run in a Virtual Machine Boot session. We will describe below the setup of DOS PC Support/400 in a DOS 5.0 Virtual Machine Boot. The process creates a DOS 5.0 boot diskette, which is then copied as a diskette image to the hard disk. This enables the DOS PC Support/400 Virtual Machine Boot to be started from the hard disk rather than a diskette.
