The program included in this arc file is intended for the public domain and
may be freely distributed as long as credit is given to the author and any
others whose programs contributed to the success of this project.
"Drive" is a program which is intended to provide the user with information
about the disk drives available to the Amiga. To access the program you
must be familiar with the CLI. To use the program type: Drive <drive_type>
(i.e. Drive df0:, Drive dh1:, etc.). You may also just type Drive and you
will be asked which drive you want information on.
Included in the arc file are two reports, floppy_rpt and hard_rpt. These
reports were obtained by using redirection such as "Drive > floppy_rpt df0:".
In the reports you will notice two different numbers for total sectors. One
number includes the boot blocks (2) and the other number does not. This is
where the difference comes from.
The program was written in Lattice C V5.0. To compile the program I used the
following: lc -ciusrf -d0 -v -O -Lncd Drive.
Lattice C V5.0 is a definite upgrade for those who have not yet obtained it.
The source level debugger alone is worth the cost of the upgrade.
Hope you find the program useful.
