- You could use the Amiga DOS command called LOCK I guess. Simply Bload
- it into a bank and run it from within Amos. I think this would be the
- easiest way.
-
- I'm also sure the JD Extension has some trackdisk commands, but not
- sure if it's what you need.
-
- And what about DOS calls? Have you tried some of them?
-
- I dunno who is best to offer advice on DOS calls regarding the
- trackdisk.dvice, but Chris Hodges is one of the most clues up guys
- I've ever spoken with when it comes to being able to find a solution
- :-)
-
- Anyone know any better....???
