                     STACKING THE HP 95LX PALMTOP COMPUTER
                  (Applies to Stacker for Windows & DOS 3.0)

       BACKGROUND
       
       The HP 95LX is a palmtop computer that runs under MS-DOS 3.2. It
       has 1 MB of on-board RAM that is configurable between RAM and
       disk drive. For example, you could use 256 KB of system RAM and
       the remaining 768 KB as the C drive. RAM cards vary in size from
       512 KB to 1.5 MB. You treat them the same as floppy disks. Each
       RAM card has its own battery to maintain the data. A slot on the
       left side of the HP 95LX accepts the RAM cards and is referenced
       as drive A. You'll have to convert this A: RAM card into a
       Stacker drive.
       
       The 95LX Filer/File Transfer Utility allows file copying,
       deleting, etc. It also lets you run applications, gives a shell
       to the DOS prompt, and lets the HP 95LX connect to the serial
       port on a desktop computer using the Connectivity Pack. The
       Connectivity Pack enables you to copy files between the two
       machines. The following procedure involves the use of the Filer
       and Connectivity Pack, but does not give detailed instruction on
       their use. Please refer to the HP 95LX documentation.
       
                                     Note
                  An external drive made by PAMCO can connect
                  to a desktop machine via the parallel port;
                  this allows a desktop machine to directly
                  access the RAM cards for the HP 95LX. The
                  current device driver for these drives is
                  NOT compatible with Stacker. PAMCO is
                  currently looking into this situation.
                  
       
       PROCEDURE
       
       You must use a desktop computer for part of this procedure since
       the HP 95LX doesn't have enough RAM to run Setup.
       
        1. On the desktop computer, run Stacker Setup to personalize
            the files and copy them to the hard drive. After this is
            done, press ESCAPE to end Setup without creating a
            compressed drive.
        2. Then type the following command to build an empty Stacker
            drive on the desktop computer:
                    CREATE C:\STACVOL.DSK /S=1.5 /R=4.0 <Enter>
           This will create a 1.5 MB STACVOL file with an anticipated
            compression ratio of 4.0 to 1 to accommodate the high
            compression ratio of Lotus 1-2-3 files. (The /S= specifies
            the size of the RAM card, in MB. The size may vary depending
            on the size of the RAM card.)
        3. Use SATTRIB to remove the hidden, system and read-only
            attributes of the STACVOL file with the following command:
               SATTRIB -R -H -S C:\STACVOL.DSK <Enter>
        4. On the HP 95LX, while in the Filer utility, choose SYSTEM to
            get to a DOS prompt.
        5. Make certain there is no data on the RAM card that is in
            drive A.
        6. At the root directory of drive C on the HP 95LX, add the
            following line to the CONFIG.SYS file:
           DEVICE=C:\STACKER.COM A:
           If there is no CONFIG.SYS file, create one by typing:
               COPY CON CONFIG.SYS <Enter>
               DEVICE=C:\STACKER.COM A: <Enter>
                    <CTRL + Z> <Enter>
        7. Use the Connectivity Pack on the desktop computer and the
            Filer/File Transfer utility on the 95LX to transfer
            STACKER.COM and CHECK.EXE to the root directory of the 95LX.
        8. Transfer STACVOL.DSK from the desktop computer to the RAM
            card in drive A:.
        9. Restart the HP 95LX to load the Stacker device driver.
        10.Stacker drive A mounts automatically whenever the HP 95LX is
           restarted with the compressed RAM card installed.
