Kwik Disk Configuration Editor Copyright 1990 Magnum Software HISTORY: Kwik Disk was first released as a Desktop Accessory in August 1988. It was intended to increase the access time for reading and writing to the floppy drives. As it was continually updated, we added the ability to select the seekrate for each drive separately, increased drive access speed and optimised the accessory to be as fast as possible and use as little memory as possible. Next we came up with a Kwik Disk program that would run from the AUTO folder. This would install Kwik Disk at boot-up and use as little memory as possible. Later it was further optimised until it would use LESS THAN 600 BYTES! OUR LATEST DEVELOPMENT: All this was great. We had increased our access speed to as much as 200% while using a minimal amount of memory so, what else could we possibly do to further improve this wonderful utility? Three things had not yet been done until now: 1) A configuration program (for the user to enter his/her own settings for boot-up time) 2) Compatability with all present and future versions of TOS 3) A version of Kwik Disk that would load from the bootsector of a floppy-disk and USE NO MEMORY AT ALL! Every one of the above features are built in to the new Kwik Disk Configuration Editor (refered to as KDCE hereon). The KDCE will create a custom version of the Kwik Disk Accessory, Auto Program and/or Bootsector Program tailored by you and specifically for your computer system. NOTE: You Must Create A Version of Kwik Disk For Each System You Own, or a New Version Each Time You Update Your Version of TOS. The KDCE Is What Senses What Version Of TOS It Is Running Under, NOT THE ACCESSORY OR PROGRAMS IT CREATES. There is no need to worry where to put the KDCE. It will determine what drive the system was booted from and write the Accessory and Auto Program to that drive. For the Auto Program, it will place it in the AUTO folder if present or first create one if not. The Bootsector Program will ALWAYS be sent the the disk in drive A. Once inside the KDCE you will see the settings you can make and the buttons to create the files. The Kwik Disk Accessory will set you screen colors at boot-up so, there are numbers for setting the colors. Select what color you wish to change (i.e. Screen, Text....), then, with the mouse and its left button, click on each number to change the color. Sorry, STE colors are not supported but will be to registered users. SHAREWARE PLEA: Yes, here it is. The plea for your generous support. You now know that Kwik Disk has altogether been a project for over 2 years. It may be small but that was the intent and, its usefulness is quite big. More time was put into this little utility than many of you may have thought. We feel that a request of $7.00 is a reasonable justification for all the long hard work of creating Kwik Disk.
