- This patch will enable users of Fifth Generation's FASTBACK
- ver. 5.0 to run without the distribution diskette in drive A.
- Any formatted floppy placed in drive A will be sufficient.
-
-
- 1. Make a backup copy of the FASTBACK distribution diskette.
- Ignore the two unrecoverable data read statements.
-
- 2. Using the backup copy, type:
-
- DEBUG FASTBACK.PGM
- -D 2700 <CR>
- You will see a bunch of assembled instructions in hex. Keep
- typing -D <CR>
- until you see the hex instructions
- 7D 2E
- Write down the addresses that contain them. i.e. XXXX:29AC
- (these will vary with your particular machine)
- Do the same for 7D 29 (maybe XXXX:29B1)
- 7D 2F (maybe XXXX:2A6C)
- and 7D 2A (maybe XXXX:2A71)
-
- 3. Assume this set of example addresses are correct...
- -E 29AC <CR>
- -XXXX:29AC 7D.90 <Space> 2E.90 <CR>
- -E 29B1 <CR>
- -XXXX:29B1 7D.90 <Space> 29.90 <CR>
- -E 2A6C <CR>
- -XXXX:2A6C 7D.90 <Space> 2F.90 <CR>
- -E 2A71 <CR>
- -XXXX:2A71 7D.90 <Space> 2A.90 <CR>
- -W <CR>
- -Q <CR>
- (all you've done is replace some conditional jump
- instructions with NOP's)
-
- 4. Now execute the FINSTALL program from your backup diskette
- and forget about using the distribution diskette in drive A:,
- 'cause any formatted diskette will do!
