ANNOUNCEMENT: Fix for IIc+ running drives & A2Desktop...

[Tony Cianfaglione <ab616@chebucto.ns.ca>]

Jay Edwards and I have found a fix for IIc+ floppy drives which keep
running when using A2Desktop v1.1.  The problem is caused by a bug in the
firmware.

By using a program called Hook by Bill Tudor, we have quieted the running
drives which can be easily restarted again.  The fix is 3 files - 2 BASIC
programs called No.Floppies and Yes.Floppies and a new Selector.List
which allows use of simple Open-Apple commands to disconnect and reconnect
the drives quickly when needed.

You can download the 3 files in a package called IIc+DrvStop.shk and
an instruction sheet called IIc+DrvStop.txt free at:

(look under Apple II Miscellaneous programs)

Hook is owned by SoftDisk LLC and can be purchased on SoftDisk #98 for
$5.00 USD from Syndicomm at: www.syndicomm.com 
(look under their online store).
