Copier produces a non working backup. A backup made with a nybbler
produces the same non working backup. Before starting, make a fast
copy using the C-64 Fast Copier.
Working with your backup:
1) Before beginning the break, let's repair the directory so we can
view our files. From the Utility Disk, load the Disk Dr. as
< LOAD "DISK D*",8,1 > and RUN. When the title screen comes up,
insert your backup and hit RETURN. The Track/Sector brought up
will be 18/1 which is the first sector of directory entries. To
repair the directory, you must fill the following positions (in
decimal) with shifted spaces (decimal 160).
pos 4-44
pos 72-76
pos 104-108
pos 136-140
pos 169-174
pos 200-204
pos 232-236
When your changes have been made, hit for rewrite and
for yes. Now hit for the next block (Sector 7) and make the
appropriate changes to that Sector (pos 12). Again rewrite the
track and hit to go to the next block (sector 5). Notice the
first two bytes direct the load back to Track 18/Sector 1 which
causes the endless directory. Using the <@> key, change position
0 and 1 to 0 and 255 respectively. Again be sure to rewrite the
Sector.
Finally with the < b > command, go back to Track 18/Sector 0.
Repair the title and ID by using the text command and
placing spaces at position 144-148 and at pos 162 give a new ID
number such as GI and again rewrite the sector. Power down and
check the directory. It should appear normal.
2) With the directory repaired, you may use the Disk Logger utility
from the Utility Disk to log all files on the backup.
< LOAD "DISK LOGGER",8,1 >. Inspection of the log shows a file
that resides in BASIC memory starting at $0801 which is the
beginning of BASIC. Let's check it out. Power down, insert your
Hesmon cartridge and power up again. to BASIC and load the
ME file < LOAD "ME",8,1 >. List the file out. Lines 600-630
represent the call for the protection check. Let's examine the
call, line by line.
600 Open channels, initialize, set the Track (T) to 34 and
Sector (S) to 8.
