;FIXDSK.ASM - corrects floppy disk timeout problem on speeded-up AT.
;
;-------------------------------------------------------------------
;MODIFIED 12/22/85 by C. Washburn, to use INT 40 instead of INT 13
;(the relocated diskette code when a fixed disk is present), and to
;restore the entry code in AH when retrying.
;
;Indicated Modifications are (C)Copyright 1985 Clyde Washburn,
;and are placed in the Public Domain.
;-------------------------------------------------------------------
;Create FIXDSK.COM as follows:
;
; MASM FIXDSK.ASM;
; LINK FIXDSK;
; EXE2BIN FIXDSK.EXE FIXDSK.COM
;
;Then place FIXDSK.COM in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
