Remove ICDBOOT.PRG from a:\auto then cold boot the system with
contol/shift/alt. Desktop.inf, DA's and \auto programs will all come from the
floppy. If you want access to the HD then manualy run ICDBOOT.PRG.

Subject: Directory node descriptors and AHDI
Thanks to Allan Pratt for his clear description of the 40-folder bug and
what TOS 1.4 does about it. No flame intended, but I think this is the first
*real* description of the problem that I've seen. Which brings me to my
question. When I disassembled AHDI (version 1.7 I think) I noticed that it
contained identical pool-extension code to FOLDRXXX. So am I right in thinking
that if AHDI extends the pool by a large enough number of directory node
descriptors I can throw away FOLDRXXX? I could add code to AHDI to make the
extnension variable (duplicating the functionality of the 'XXX' in 'FOLDRXXX').
