Overview: 
 
   Some Sysops that run their BBS under DESQview/386 are plagued
by the famous "Drive x Not Ready" error.  We at Quarterdeck have
been trying to figure out what causes this error for a long time. 
 
   It turns out that there are actually TWO causes for the "Drive
x Not Ready" errors.  The first caused by a bug in some BIOSes
and is fixable by the TSR FIX13.COM.  Put this TSR in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  It should fix the first and most common
"Drive x Not Ready" errors. 
 
   We are currently unable to fix the second, and less common,
cause of "Drive x Not Ready" error.  This type of error can be
worked around by loading the TSR RETRY13.COM.  This TSR issues a
1 retry for every disk read that comes up as "Drive x Not Ready".

 
   Both of these TSRs should have been in the ZIP that this file
is in.
