This allows alternative OS's to have any size partition. NOTE: DO NOT USE GEMDOS WITH A PARTITION THAT IS LARGER THAN 16M. /************************************************************************/ /* BLAST.PRG */ /************************************************************************/ This program allows you to view Degas or Neocrome pictures very fast from your hard drive. /************************************************************************/ /* AUTOBOOTING */ /************************************************************************/ If you do not want to execute the boot from the hard drive, hold down the keys when booting. This will abort the hard drive boot and boot normally from the floppy. If you are using a Mega ST, you need to wait for the floppy drive to access before pushing the keys. WARNING: You must boot your system with the NEW driver before installing the autoboot. Some older drivers may not support physical sector 0. WARNING: If you are using a hard disk cache, you must deinstall it before installing the autoboot. Some hard disk cache programs do not support accessing physical sector 0. If you forget and your drive C does not respond, you can use SUPEDIT to resurrect the drive. WARNING: DO NOT place SUPBOOT.PRG in the AUTO folder on drive C:. NOTE 520: If you do not have the floppy connected when autobooting the hard disk you will not be able to access the floppy. /************************************************************************/ /* SUPEDIT.PRG */ /************************************************************************/ Another feature has been added to the main menu, EDIT SECTORS. This is a simple sector editor which can edit any hard disk sector. /************************************************************************/ /* PIN25.DOC */ /************************************************************************/ This shows how to wire the 25 pin SCSI connector to a 50 pin SCSI, if you are making a 25 -> 25 SCSI cable, you need to have a 1-1 connection, except for pin 25, which is not connected. /************************************************************************/ /* 40 FOLDER limit */ /************************************************************************/ The ST has a minor problem with logging in to many folders. Our driver allows 90-100 folders to be logged in. It is best to have only '40' folders logged in, as proper garbage collection is not done. There are several Public Domain fixes for this, but we urge you to ONLY use the program called FOLDERXXX.PRG. This program was released as PD software by Atari. You should be able to find it on CompuServe,GEnie,Delphi, or from your local user group or ST dealer.
