- HDWBOOTC.TOS Just call, You are prompted to insert the disk in
- drive A. Do it, hit any key and the bootsector is
- written.
-
- Explanation:
-
- If You have a disk with this boot sector in drive A, You may switch
- Your ATARI on while the hard disk is spinning up. The boot sector
- programm will wait until the hard disk is ready and then return
- so the startup will proceed with hard disk.
-
- Try it. Some hard disks (there are even different SH204's) dont spin
- up when bothered by 'test unit ready'.
