- Trackdisk.Device X-clicker Version 0.3
- --------------------------------------
- Yet more changes.
-
- I now make calls to Forbid and Permit to switch off and on multitasking.
-
- This is necessary to prevent disk corruption in the event that another
- process is accessing the unit being modified.
-
- I cleaned up the code a bit with Pragmas and prototypes, interesting that
- BLINK won't bother looking in amiga2.0.lib now.

- Trackdisk.Device X-clicker Version 0.2
- --------------------------------------
- I've made some more changes.
-
- - It now checks to see if it was started from Workbench
- - The message on Drive status is more descriptive
- - It checks that Trackdisk.Device is at least version 36
- - It can take a parameter which are numbers for the units you wish to
- make effect to.
-
- For example, I had 3 drives on my A3000.
- 1 - internal
- 2 - externals
- One of the externals is an old Amiga 1010 with the NEC mechanism, which
- uses a metal stop at track 0. In other words it clicks even loader.
- The other external doesn't have pass through.
-
- So to use TDX on just drives 0 and 3, leaving 2 and the non-existent 1
- alone.
-
- TDX 03
-
- This only applies for CLI usage.
-
- NOTE: that TDX just toggles the flag for the unit.

- Trackdisk.Device X-clicker Version 0.1
- --------------------------------------
- Here it is....the little program everybody's been looking for, but nobody
- can find.
-
- After running up a massive phone bill, it came up bigger than what I got
- from running a Citadel BBS (Lunatic Haven), looking for an elusive program
- to make my Floppy Drives to stop clicking.
-
- I downloaded many programs, and got nowhere.
-
- So, looking at my 2.0 headers (about 500 pages)...I worked out a quick little
- program to flip the bit to make the drives stop clicking.
-
- And, after an hour of hacking....here it is. It works! I can't believe the
- silence!
-
- There's bound to be bugs and things that could have been done better, but
- here it is anyways.
