- There is nothing more frustrating (after having spent $7000 on
- an IBM PC/XT and then an additional $50 on chess software) than
- to get home and have to fool with a floppy when there is a perfectly
- good fixed disk which is 10 times as fast and quieter to boot (pun
- intended).
-
- Therefore the following information is provided which will enable
- XT owners to transfer Sargon III to fixed disk:
-
- (assuming the sargon disk is in drive a, and default drive is c)
-
- copy a:sargon.III sargon3.com (original sargon3.com is NOT copied)
-
- debug
- n sargon3.com

- a 7f9f
- mov ah,10
- <cr>
- a 83e1
- mov ah,2
- <cr>
- w
- q
-
- Copy b000.bok from floppy to fixed disk. (b000.bok contains the book
- openings)
-
- None of the other files are required and should NOT be copied to fixed
- disk.
-
- Sargon should function normally, except that unfortunately when Sargon
- exits, Sargon reboots the system. (Couldn't find an easy change for that
- one)
-
- Note: This information is being provided to allow registered Sargon III
- owners to transfer a single copy of Sargon to a fixed disk. It is
- not intended for any other use.
