KDP65 is the Kwik Disk Configuration Editor v.6.50 by Magnum Software.
This amazingly complete and ingenious utility has been continuously
improved over the years. As the authors state:
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!
All this was great. We had increased our access speed to as much as
200% while using a minimal amount of memory. What else could we possibly do
to further improve this wonderful utility? Three things had not yet been
done:
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 were built in to the Kwik Disk
Configuration Editor! This version fixes a bug that could trash your
hard drive (a Serious bug!) Color or mono. Docs included. SHAREWARE.
