SUMMARY
=======

The Hewlett-Packard (HP) Vectra CS/20 portable requires a 1.44 MB floppy disk to
be in drive A at startup time for the MS-DOS FORMAT, DISKCOPY, and DISKCOMP
commands to recognize the drive as a 1.44 MB floppy drive. If you do not place a
1.44 MB floppy disk in drive A, the FORMAT, DISKCOPY, and DISKCOMP commands
treat drive A as a 720K floppy drive. HP's version of MS-DOS version 5.0
corrects this problem.

The product included here, the HP Vectra CS/20, is manufactured by vendors
independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding
this product's performance or reliability.
