- Seeing as I told you there was a patch, I will post it. Maybe this could
- be in the FAQ?
-
- 1. Boot ProDOS. When the system hangs up, press [RESET
- 2. Type 2647:EA EA (prodos 1.0) -or- 265B:EA EA ('all' other versions)
- 3. Type 2000G
-
- Congratulations! But the change is not permanent, your must modify the
- PRODOS file. The following BASIC program will do just that.
-
- 20 D$ = CHR$(4)
- 30 INPUT "INSERT DISK TO BE PATCHED AND PRESS RETURN":R$
- 40 PRINT D$;"BLOAD PRODOS,TSYS,A$2000"
- 50 POKE 9819,234:POKE 9820,234
- 60 PRINT D$;"BSAVE PRODOS,TSYS,A$2000":END
-
- For ProDOS 1.0 change line 50 to:
-
- 50 POKE 9799,234:POKE 9800,234
-
- (From Home Computer Magazine, v5 #4, page 13)
-
- I left out the error trapping code from the program, but it should do the
- job. :) Anyone who wants the complete program mailed to them, let me know.
-
- A few points: I seriously doubt this patch will work for ProDOS version
- after 1.9. My II+ doesn't. It may not even work with some fairly old
- versions, as this program came out when ProDOS was first released.
-
- Hope this helps,
