UNPROTECT PATCH FOR SIDEKICK VERSION 1.5
BY
STEVE SCHAUER
Use the following steps to unprotect Sidekick Version 1.5. After
modifying SK.COM the program will no longer look for the key disk
in Drive A: and you can run the program off your hard disk alone.
You should modify a COPY of SK.COM with DEBUG by entering the
following commands:
you enter: DEBUG SK.COM <CARRIAGE RETURN>
A 089E <CARRIAGE RETURN>
DEBUG responds with: XXXX:089E <XXXX CAN BE ANY NUMBER>
you enter: NOP <CARRIAGE RETURN>
DEBUG responds with: XXXX:089F
you enter: NOP <CARRIAGE RETURN>
DEBUG responds with: XXXX:08A0
you enter: <CARRIAGE RETURN>
A 08AD <CARRIAGE RETURN>
DEBUG responds with: XXXX:08AD
you enter: OR <TAB> AL,01 <CARRIAGE RETURN>
DEBUG responds with: XXXX:08AF
you enter: <CARRIAGE RETURN>
W <CARRIAGE RETURN>
Q <CARRIAGE RETURN>
That's it! The modified version will now run as an unprotected copy
of Sidekick.
REMINDER: The instructions above enclosed in <BRACKETS> are not to
be typed in; when it says <CARRIAGE RETURN> or <TAB>,
you should press that key at that point. <You knew that,
didn't you?>
SECOND REMINDER: Fate being what it is, you did modify a copy of
Sidekick and not the original, didn't you?
