==================================
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!
