This drive is the main space for user applications. For
the first installation, it contains the LWP hex image.
The first time you boot a terminal, LWP copies utilities
and applications onto the E:\ drive. When you load
user applications onto the terminal, they overwrite
LWP, but the utilities and applications stay on the E:\
drive.
See Chapter 4 for information on loading applications
into this space.

D:\

160 Kb

RAM

This drive contains the

net.cfg

file and user space.

Commands in the

b:\autoexec.bat

file can write

files to this disk.
The default size is 160 Kb, but this size can be changed
by

b:\init.exe

. For information on setting the D

drive size, see Chapter 5 of the Series 3000 Application
Programmer’s Guide
