- What's so hard about open 15,8,15: print #15,"d1=0" or print #15,"c1=0" ?

- If it's any help, I once made a program to make disk maintenance a bit
- easier, allowing to copy multiple files to the other drive by simply
- selecting a letter from a menu with file names. Among lots of other
- things (like undeleting files and the normal set of disk commands) I
- suppose I should type it in again... it used to be 4040- centered, with
- some provisions for 8050/8250 but I never tested those when I wrote it.
- (A chance to do that now... :)
