- well, I "updated/fixed" this version to work with hd-drives. It was
- just the double of the size of the bytespersector. To be sure I included
- the diskspare.device and the ProFileSystem with its dosdrivers.

- DiskSpare.device v3.0 (c) Klaus Deppisch
- ProFileSystem 9.6 (c) Michiel Pelt
- PS0 (c) Dosdriver with ProFileSystem on Diskspare-Disks
- PS0.info (c) its icon
- DB0 (c) Dosdriver for Diskspare-Disks
- DB0.info (c) its icon
-
- Just for testing I clicked on RDS and on DB0. After that I compared the
- size of both devs - there were equal. But after that I diskcopied the
- RDS to DB0 and it worked. So if you use this icons and the devices with
- filesystem, you won't get any probs any more.

- Greets, Finn
-
- P.S.: Just a hint : If you have diavolo-backup then search with a disktool
- for trackdisk.device. Replace all entries in the file with
- diskspare.device (both names have the same length) and you use the
- diskspare with diavolo (each disk can carry ca. 300k more with hd-
- disks).
