SUMMARY
=======

Interlnk drives are considered removable media because their connections can be
broken at any time.

MORE INFORMATION
================

If you load Interlnk in the CONFIG.SYS file, all Interlnk drives (both active
and inactive) appear as removable media. DoubleSpace reports each drive as a
removable, normal local drive. Windows and Windows for Workgroups File Manager
display each drive as a removable media icon (sometimes called a "floppy icon").
SMARTDrive shows Interlnk drives as read-cached in its status table. The
Microsoft Diagnostic Utility (MSD) report Interlnk drives as floppy drives of
one cylinder.

If you try to change to an unconnected Interlnk drive, a disk error is displayed.
Once the drive connection is established, you can change between physical and
Interlnk drives normally and transparently.
