~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
McCloud will forbid any floppy disk access on the specified disk. It
will likely be useful in case you don't want unskilled people to jam with
your disks. McCloud won't provide you any data encryption, it just
modifies the specified disk's bootblock to render it invisible to your
computer.
The reason why I decided only to modify the bootblock is principally
the security: should the disk present any read/write error, you'll get
your datas back with a common program like DiskSalv, QBTools and so on,
while a full encryption might be more unhandy. Anyway McCloud's aim is
just to protect a bit your disks, not to grant full security.
If you insert in any drive a disk protected by McCloud, no icon will
appear, and, if asked via CLI/Shell, the Amiga will confirm the absence of
any disk in your drive! Magical, isn't it? :)
