QuietTD
written 1994 by Klaus Deppisch
Function: QuietTD patches the BeginIO vector of the trackdisk.device
to get a faster access of diskspare disks. May also be
useful when using CrossDOS. If a read request for track 0
is recognized, it reads a part of the track (via RawRead)
and checks if there are any td headers on it. If not, an
error (TDERR_NoSecHdr) is returned.
WARNING: The BeginIO vector is often patched by viruses, so there
may be problems with some AntiVirus programs.
a) If a virus is in the system before calling QuietTD the
antivirus program may not find it.
b) The antivirus program resets the vector, so QuietTD
doesn't work any longer (logically)
-> If you have trouble with viruses sometimes, you should
think about very well installing QuietTD.
Details: have a look at the source
call it: QuietTD Shell ONLY (doesn't do any console output)
Requirements: Kickstart 2.0 or higher
