<--------------------------------------------------------->

Having a (very) occasional need to use PC-DOS (for very short periods of
time), I bought a 5 1/4" drive for my Amiga, knowing full well about
warnings that Transformer didn't work on 1.2. 

I also have the CMI Kickstart Eliminator. Which presents the problem: How do
I use Transformer, if I can't boot Kickstart 1.1.

Well, I did a little hacking and managed to patch Transformer to work on
1.2. The question now is "is anybody else interested?" I could easily build
a very short program to automate the patch and post it to the net (there are
only 7 bytes to patch), but before I do, I'd like to know if anybody
else is in need of it.

At any rate, here is a list of differences. All the changes are in the file
"at1":

File offset		Old value	New value

0081			6A		B8
010F			0C		10
0121			24		20
0133			28		2C
0145			2C		30
0173			6A		B8
0179			6A		B8

Yeah, I know about the limitations, but for no more than I need it, it 
serves me just fine.
