ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to assigning disk drives associated with both a host computer and a remote computer coupled together by a communication link using normal DOS driver letters. DOS initialization of the host computer is postponed until a remote session is established with the remote computer and the remote computer provides information regarding the disk drives associated therewith. Upon receiving the disk drive information from the remote computer, the host completes its initialization and assigns drive letters associated with diskette drives associated with the host computer to diskette drives associated with the remote computer. Thus, host diskette drives are logically replaced by remote diskette drives. Any hard disk drives associated with the remote computer are assigned the next available drive letter on the host computer. Thus, the host computer and the remote computers become tightly coupled in that a user of the remote system has access to the diskette drives and any hard disk drives on the remote computer and any hard disk drives on the host computer.
