You'll need to copy the PC0 file from the Storage:DOSDrivers/ directory to the Workbench:Devs/DOSDrivers directory and reboot to make the driver available.

I would recommend that you make a backup set of your workbench disks and make changes on the backup disks, instead of messing around with the original disks ;-)

Open a shell or cli and enter the command:

copy installer c:

Make sure you are in the same drawer wich installer is extracted to.

"c" is the drawer where most of the commands are stored.
"sys:c" is assigned as c:
"sys:" is your boot-drive.

Maybe somone can explain this better than I can :roll:
