to communicate with the drive through DOS is fruitless - unless
      the drive is turned off and on again. Now the drive can be accessed
      normally and the Snapshot process can be completed. However, when
      the Snapshotted GEOS is re-booted, it will continue no further
      BECAUSE THE TURBO FLAGS STILL SHOW THAT THE DRIVES ARE RUNNING THE
      TURBO CODE! GEOS assumes that the turbo code is active and will
      try to signal the drives, GEOS-style. The drives will, of course,
      not respond properly (if at all) and the operating system, by now
      totally confused, heads for the remote island of Catatonia to sort
      it all out.
      
      Fortunately, GEOS Desk Top allows us to get our foot in the door
      through the RESET option located in the SPECIAL menu. This option
      clears the screen, re-initializes the drive(s), and opens the
      current disk(s). Perform steps 1 through 9 EXACTLY as described to
      properly Snapshot GEOS.
      
      1) Boot GEOS to the Desk Top. Your system should be configured
         to your liking (number and type of drives, etc..). If not,
         do it now.

      2) Format a disk to contain the Snapshotted GEOS files. This
         will become your new boot disk.
      
      3) Copy the following GEOS files to your new boot disk:
         a) "DESK TOP"
         b) "CONFIGURE"
         c) "Preferences" [optional].
         d) "Pad Color Pref" (GEOS 2.0) [optional].
         e) Your current input driver file (Ex: "COMM 1351")
         f) Your current printer driver file (Ex: "MPS-801")
         g) Any other desired files, as long as you leave at least 58
            kbytes (237 disk blocks) free.
         
      4) Place your new boot disk into the drive from which the
         Snapshotted GEOS will be booting.
      
      5) Open the SPECIAL menu and click RESET. You now have exactly
         1.6 seconds to press the SSS button (for stopwatch buffs)
         -OR- press it before the screen clears completely. It's a
         good idea to practice a few times (pretend to press the
         button) until you feel confident enough for the real thing.

      6) Confident, eh? Repeat step 5 but actually press the
         button. The SSS sub-system menu should appear. If it doesn't,
         Keep trying step 1 and steps 4 through 6, until step 6 is
         completed properly.
      
      7) Turn off all drives for at least 5 seconds. Turn them back on.
