187.0. "Hunting down Drive Changes" by CHEST::BADMAN (Work Like a Rabbit) Mon Aug 08 1988 10:50

    I wonder if anyone has any suggestions ... I currently have an STFM
    (1/2 meg built-in drive A) and a 1 meg drive B. I have a program
    that will only fit on a 1 meg disk but insists on running from drive
    A. (ie when I run it, it gets so far then tries to access drive
    A. I would like to 'hack' the program so that it runs totally off
    of drive B. So far, I have searched the program (using RAID) for
    any usage of SETDRIVE and have dumped the program (using DISK DOCTOR)
    for any text referring to "A:\" and have fixed those. However, I
    still get the drive A accesses. Does anyone have any further
    suggestions as to how I can hunt down the code that causes this
    drive change ?

    I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 520 ST. I OPENED UP THE CPU AND 
    REMOVED THE SINGLE SIDED DISK AND PUT THE DOUBLE SIDED DISK INTO
    THE 520 AND MOUNTED THE SINGLE SIDED DISK INTO CASE FOR THE DOUBLE
    SIDED. BOTH DISKS WHERE ATARI. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WOULD WORK 
    WIH ANOTHER BRAND. SINGLE SIDED DISKS BOOT UP FINE ON A DOUBLE
    SIDED DRIVE. I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU OUT.
