-
- Patches - I've got patches. Here are a couple of methods that you can try.
- Please note that these patches are most probably version dependent. I don't
- know which version(s) these will work with - you'll just have to try them out.
-
- This first patch is a memory patch only - you will have to perform it every
- time you boot the disk but it's quick and dirty. When you boot the disk and
- it 'locks up', press reset and you will land in the monitor with a '*' prompt.
- Now type:
- 265B:EA EA <RETURN>
- 2000G <RETURN> the disk should boot normally now
-
- The second method involves patching the disk with a sector editor such as the
- one in Copy ][+. Read in track $01, sector $09 and change bytes $60-$61 from
- A9 00 to A5 0C. If this does not work then get another ProDOS disk, read in
- the same track and sector and change bytes $5B-$5C to EA EA. Remember to only
- apply these disk patches to expendable copies of your original disks and NEVER
- to the original disks themselves. These patches will probably only work with
- very early versions of ProDOS. P.S. Don't forget to write the modified sector
- back out to the disk!
-
- And to think - my wife wanted me to get rid of all my old Assembly Lines,
- Computist, Nibbles, etc. "But they might come in handy someday!"
