I just got helped by an AOL user!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good God!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rubywand see http://www.thelist.com for an ISP in your area.
Also read alt.aol-sucks. Why pay $2.95 an hour after 5 hours?
Or pay for their 20/20 plan? A good ISP costs $15 bucks a month flat 
rate. Plus they don't censor you. No TOS! 

I can't believe someone with your knowledge would be on AOL. Well, unless 
this is a free account of course.

Okay here is what worked. I used CopyIIPlusV9 AutoCopy with the 
parameters for Dungeon Master. This does a sector copy and then bit 
copies a couple sectors of the disk. A full bit copy of the entire disk 
does not work! I then changed the bellow bites on the copy. When I tried 
to run it I had a FST error. So I ran CopyIIPlusV9 again with Dungeon 
Master C parameter. This just bit copied those same sectors as before, 
assuming a sector copy had already been done. I looked at the bytes I 
changed and they where still changed. I have tested the save feature of 
Dungeon Master from the Hall of Champions and it seams to work! Great!


Now we got to get this game in the public domain. I have seen Dungeon 
Master II on the Atari ST. There is a emulator for the Atari ST on the 
PC. I would love to run in it on a PC!


:      In COMPUTIST #75 Robin Locksley suggests the following mods to Block
: $104 on a version 2.0 backup:

: byte $110   change 18 to 38
: byte $114   change 38 to 18

:      If the bytes are not found in Block $104, scan for 18 AB 2B 6B 38. Do
: the two byte changes.
