CRACKING BC'S QUEST FOR TIRES
=============================
 
TRACK $21 (HEX) IS A NIBBLE COUNT TRACK
AND CONTAINS NO DATA NEEDED BY THE
GAME. OTHERWISE, THE DISK FORMAT IS
STANDARD DOS 3.3...SO...
 
COPY THE DISK (SKIPPING TRACK $21)
ONTO A BLANK. OR, IF YOU WANT TO MODIFY
YOUR ORIGINAL, JUST USE BAG OF TRICKS'
"INIT" OR SIMILAR UTILITY, AND FORMAT
TRACK $21 ON THE ORIGINAL DISK.
 
NOW, THE DISK CAN BE COPIED BY COPYA,
BUT IT WON'T BOOT BECAUSE OF THE
NIBBLE COUNT. WE CAN JUST NOP THE JSR
TO THE NIBBLE COUNT BY CHANGING THE
FOLLOWING BYTES WITH ZAP OR INSPECTOR:
 
   TRACK  SECTOR  BYTE  FROM  TO:
   -----  ------  ----  ----  ---
    $06    $07    $E8   $20   $EA
    $06    $07    $E9   $00   $EA
    $06    $07    $EA   $96   $EA
 
THERE...IT'S CRACKED! (EASY, EH?)
