APRIL 1991 #75 N.I.A.D. NEWSLETTER


SpeedyWRITE V2.0 uses redundant block loads to get the
program into memory. This makes it impossible to move the
program to add more catalog blocks. You sure waste a lot of
space using one block for a catalog. My "MOD" turns a new
media into a four block catalog. All references to utility
programs pertain to SmartDSK III.

1. First INIT a disk or ddp with 4 catalogs using "INIT"     
from
SmartDSK III.
2. Copy the SpeedyWRITE file to your new media with
"MANAGER". Now we must make a dummy file, ( BSAVE DUMMY, A0,
L2000 ), to your new media. This command has to be entered   
in
SmartBASIC.
3. Copy all the rest of your files from SpeedyWRITE to your
new media using "MANAGER".
4. Using "TOOLKIT" from SmartDSK III, why TOOLKIT, because   
it
works in decimal and is a lot easier to understand and use.
Set the offset to (51200) and load in block 0 from your
SpeedyWRITE media. Modify location (51280) to a (5), (51294)
to a (6), and (51308) to a (7). Copy block 0 to your new
media's block 0.
5. Set offset to 8192 and load in block 4 and modify as
follows:
(8200) - (8), (8214) - (9), (8228) - (10), (8242) - (11),
(8256) - (12), (8270) - (13), (8284) - (14), (8298) - (15),
(8309) - (16), (8324) - (17), (8338) - (18), (8352) - (19),
(8366) - (20), (8380) - (21), (8394) - (22), (8408) - (23),
(8422) - (24), (8436) - (25), (8450) - (26), (8464) - (27),
(8478) - (28), (8492) - (29), (8506) - (30), (8568) - (31).
Copy block 4 to block 7 of your new media.
6. Set the offset to 256, and load in block 29. Modify
location (576) - (29), and (634) - (29). Copy block 29 to
block 32 of your new media.
7. Copy block 31 from SpeedyWRITE to block 34 of your new
media. Copy block 32 to block 35.
8. Boot-up the SmartWRITER program by pulling the computer
reset. Using SmartWRITER save a small file to your new
SpeedyWRITE media.

I hope this is all that is needed for SpeedyWRITE V2.0 to
work properly with a multiple block directory. If you have
any problems I would like to know.
