- Install2 - a useful (?) boot block
- ==================================
- Summary:
- --------
- Installing a disk this way will cause ...
- a) preference being given to MEMF_CHIP for poorly written
- software, e. g. games from Germany :-) :-) :-)
- b) all external drives to be ignored by the system (and
- therefore eat up less memory for internal disk buffers).
-
- Description:
- ------------
- It would be even better if programs like this one would not
- be necessary at all, but several developers asked me to
- write something like this, so here you are!
- Background information: In Germany *lots* of programmers use
- the SEKA assembler (a pirated copy, of course) and some of
- them even do not know about include files, ATOM, FixHunk
- etc. (Teut Weidemann and Hans-Joachim Deeg, you're the
- exceptions, of course).
- Just INSTALL2 a disk (make sure it does not have a custom
- boot block!) and reboot. If it still does not work ... curse
- the manufacturer and buy someone else's software next time.
- As always: If you want to include this boot block with any
- commercial product, contact me before doing so! Permission
- granted for non-commercial use if distributed unchanged from
- the original version and free of charge!
- A similar boot block can be used to MOUNT a normal trackdisk
- drive with the new Fast Filing System (hey Steve, thanks a
- lot). But Andy Finkel said that the automatic detection of a
- DISKCHANGE was not yet implemented ...
- "requires no more than 512 KB and internal drive", aaarrggghh!
