          TITLE:    MAGNAVOX PCGLOBE
   DOCUMENT ID#:    FYI-M-1613
           DATE:    04JAN93
        PRODUCT:    DR DOS
PRODUCT VERSION:    6
     SUPERSEDES:    06JAN92

        SYMPTOM:    Error message: Check to see if you have the
right CD in your drive.

  ISSUE/PROBLEM:  Magnavox licenses a program called PCGlobe to
run on their 461 CD ROM external drive. The commercial version of
PCGLOBE has no incompatibilities with DRDOS 6.0.  However, the
Magnavox version generates an error "CHECK TO SEE IF YOU HAVE THE
RIGHT CD IN YOUR DRIVE".  This occurs with any configuration.

       SOLUTION: There are two solutions:
1) Update COMMAND.COM to 11/92. This is available on CompuServe
or on the Novell DSG BBS (408-649-3443). The name of the update
is UTL1192 and the checksum of the updated COMMAND.COM is 29D0.
XDIR with the option /C will display checksums.

2) If you cannot upgrade to the 11/92 COMMMAND.COM remove the
second line from the batch file that invokes PCGLOBE. The second
line checks to see if a file exists on the PCGLOBE CDROM. This
check fails because the file has the hidden attribute set. DR DOS
does not acknowledge the existance of hidden files except in the
11/92 update.
