The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system versions 6.0, 6.2, 6.22

SYMPTOMS
========

This information applies to both Microsoft DoubleSpace and Microsoft DriveSpace.
For MS-DOS 6.22, use DRVSPACE in place of DBLSPACE for commands and filenames.

If you try to install DoubleSpace on a machine that uses a Micro Solutions
CompatiCard IV floppy disk controller, you may receive the following message:

  Your computer might be running software that is incompatible with DoubleSpace

CAUSE
=====

This message is caused by the CompatiCard IV CC4DRV.SYS device driver.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, call MicroSolutions for instructions to change the
floppy disk controller card settings, or remove the command for the CC4DRV.SYS
device drive from your CONFIG.SYS file.
