If you can see acedrv.sys, config.sys, and stacvol.ace, you are probably
facing the fact that you have a stacked filesystem on your card. The
1Mb file is the 2Mb stacker volume. The problem is that you need to
run stacker to access that volume. The stacker.sys should probably
be in a config.sys file. Examine the config.sys file on your card.
It should have lines that read:
device=a:\acedrv.sys
device=a:\stacker.sys /p=0 a:
In theory, you should be able to boot your system with the card in
place, and the config.sys on the card will be what is booted from.
If not, then look in config.sys on the c: and see what you have in
there. You also need to check your c: drive and see if you have
an ACE subdirectory. If you do, there will probably be a stacker.com
in there. If there is, you can
cd c:\stacker
stacker a
and your a: drive should be mounted so you can access the files.

Unless there is a command.com on C:\ or A:\, I don't think this command
is what you want in your config.sys.
