Quarterly Disk #4

The fourth Quarterly Disk is now ready, containing all the source code from issues 10 through 12.  The cost is only $15, and it will save you a lot of typing and possible searching for typos.  All previous Quarterly Disks are still available, at the same price.


Renewing subscriptions

The 4-digit number in the upper right corner of your mailing label is the expiration date of your subscription.  The first two digits are the year, and the last two digits are the month of the last issue you have paid for.  If it says "8109", this is your last issue.  Unless, of course, I receive your renewal check for $12.  If your label says 8111 or less, now is the time to renew!


More about the Firmware Card in Slot 4

Michael Sanders' DOS patch for using the Firmware card in slot 4 is really nice.  A lot of you have written or called about it, and I use it myself now.  In fact, I have changed my HELLO programs to do the patch.  All it takes is two POKEs:

     10 POKE 42424,192 : POKE 42432,193

I like doing it this way a lot better than INITting a disk with a modified DOS.  If you want to test for the presence of a card before patching, you can do it like this:
