You may be asked to enter the following list of disc

Run the DEBUG program on your DOS disk and enter G=C800:5. If
you are asked, "Are you dynamically configuring the drive?"
answer "Y" for yes. You will then be asked to "Key in disk
characteristics as follows: number of cylinders, number of
heads, starting reduced write cylinder, write precomp cylinder,
maximum correctable error burst length, and CCB option byte."
