- QuietTD
-
- written 1994 by Klaus Deppisch
-
-
- Function: QuietTD patches the BeginIO vector of the trackdisk.device
- to get a faster access of diskspare disks. May also be
- useful when using CrossDOS. If a read request for track 0
- is recognized, it reads a part of the track (via RawRead)
- and checks if there are any td headers on it. If not, an
- error (TDERR_NoSecHdr) is returned.
-
- WARNING: The BeginIO vector is often patched by viruses, so there
- may be problems with some AntiVirus programs.
- a) If a virus is in the system before calling QuietTD the
- antivirus program may not find it.
- b) The antivirus program resets the vector, so QuietTD
- doesn't work any longer (logically)
-
- -> If you have trouble with viruses sometimes, you should
- think about very well installing QuietTD.
-
