TIPS: How to run the "EDD 4.9 PLUS" program without the EDD+ card:


Boot a DOS 3.3 disk.
Insert the "EDD 4.9 PLUS" floppy (downloaded from the Dave Touvell's website) 
in your disk drive 1.

Type:

BLOAD EDD V4.9 (load the configured EDD+ version)
POKE 25290,0   (change EDDVRSN flag before relocate the code)
CALL 3069      (run EDD in standard mode)

You'll NOT have this error message anymore when using the "back up a disk" 
option:

"Either the EDD PLUS CARD is not located in slot#x, or the PLUS CARD is not 
connected to the original disk drive controller located in slot#6".


About the flag:

EDDVRSN  $B2CA: $00 => EDD 4 version (use standard bitcopy subroutines) 
EDDVRSN  $B2CA: $01 => EDD 4 PLUS version (use plus card  bitcopy subroutines)
