SUMMARY
Interlnk drives are considered removable media because their
connections can be broken at any time.
MORE INFORMATION
If you load Interlnk in the CONFIG.SYS file, all Interlnk drives (both
active and inactive) appear as removable media. DoubleSpace reports each
drive as a removable, normal local drive. Windows and Windows for
Workgroups File Manager display each drive as a removable media icon
(sometimes called a "floppy icon"). SMARTDrive shows Interlnk drives as
read-cached in its status table. The Microsoft Diagnostic Utility (MSD)
report Interlnk drives as floppy drives of one cylinder.
If you try to change to an unconnected Interlnk drive, a disk error is
displayed. Once the drive connection is established, you can change between
physical and Interlnk drives normally and transparently.
