Make a copy of both disks 2. Get into BASIC and BLOAD TF.READ.B63F,A$1000 3. Insert your ORIGINAL Task Force Disk 1. 4. Type the following: CALL-151 1000G (insert temp storage disk) BSAVE TF.BLOCK.63F,A$1800,L$200 5. Insert your COPY of Task Force Disk 1, and do the following: BLOAD STARTUP.SYSTEM,A$2000,TSYS 2026:A9 00 0E 2034:4C 43 0A 20C9:5C 88 41 02 2243:A9 FF 01 A2 00 2248:14 A0 00 98 54 02 00 4B 2250:AB 18 4C 37 08 EA<2255.2290Z 2291:18 (insert disk with TF.BLOCK.63F) BLOAD TF.BLOCK.63F,A$2C00 (reinsert the copy of Task Foce Disk 1) BSAVE STARTUP.SYSTEM,A$2000,TSYS,L$E00 I have a further handwritten note that says: "The memory-clearing routine for Battle Chess is needed to make Task Force work on a hard disk with 6.0.1, etc." *************** Tomahawk: If you're interested, I can tell you how to make a bit copy. *************** Alien Mind I have info on how to copy it, but I'm not sure whether it ends up as a bit copy. *************** Hard Ball: Block Byte Change to ----- ---- --------- 31D 009 2C 5D 6B 24 31D 014 2C 5D 6B 24 31E 054 60 321 1A3 08 60 329 07D 60 32C 1EE 18 60 32F 0FF 18 60 335 1DE 60 339 067 60 33D 109 04 This supposedly is hard disk compatible.
