Just before I sold my copy recently, I found that my original wouldn't
|
|
|
|
boot either when my Zip was enabled. My deprotected disk worked fine,
|
|
|
|
though.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here's my personal crack. It's very simple. With a block editor, make
|
|
|
|
the following changes to the FASTBREAK.SYS16 file (on a copy, of
|
|
|
|
course):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
byte $3E0 (block 2, byte $1E0): change $22 to $AF
|
|
|
|
byte $3E7 (block 2, byte $1E7): change $F0 to $80
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that those offsets are relative to the start of the FASTBREAK.SYS16
|
|
|
|
file. If your block editor does not support editing files, the actual
|
|
|
|
block number was $000A on my disk, but this may change from disk to
|
|
|
|
disk.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Let me know if that helps.
