John, you know how to reach me ;-) If some of you want to create NIB images of their MECC software, please send them to me afterwards. I will then try to deprotect them, ending in creating a MECChanical deprotection program... Antoine<Grin> Yes Antoine, I know how to reach you.My problem with these is they seem to have a nibble count built-in. Nothing I've found in Compute, Krakowitz, etc, covers these ProDos versions of MECC, and the information given for the other versions doesn't seem to be enough for me to do these.
The usual method for dealing with nibble counts is to find the count routine and disable it. If that's all that's going on, that will normalize the disk. Publishers often used the same or very similar approaches to protection on several different programs published around the same time, so the work of deprotecting can often be pretty well leveraged. -michael NadaPong: Network game demo for Apple II computers!
