To test ALTALK first type ALTALK C [Enter]. If everything is working, you
will be able to hear your autoloader calibrate itself. If not, make sure
that the autoloader is on, all your cables are connected tightly, and ALTALK
is correctly set up.
For the next test, type ALTALK L [Enter]. This should insert a disk into the
autoloader. Then type ALTALK U [Enter] which should eject the disk. If these
two tests work then ALTALK is working correctly.
In order to use ALTALK, you will need to access the disk drive in the
autoloader. Most drives can be accessed as drive B:. However, if you are
using a secondary controller such as the CompatiCard IV, your autoloader
drive could be drive D: or any other drive number you specified. Double
speed drives usually work properly when attached to a CompatiCard IV with
the CC4DRV.SYS driver.
