From: prindle@NADC.ARPA (Frank Prindle)

As many have by now no doubt detected, a number of the wonderful *fast* file
and disk copier modules in Fast Hack'em (3.0A thru 4.1) fail to work with a
1571 disk drive once the new -05 ROM has been installed.  Since the company
which produced this product is now apparently defunct, there is little hope
they will be fixing this problem.  I have developed a set of patches which
repair the damage and make these modules work again with the -05 ROM (as well
as continuing to work with the -03 ROM).  Once I get it together, I will
post this set of patches, along with a description of why each module stopped
working and how the patch corrects this.  Familiarity with patching machine
language files (using a monitor or sector editor) will be assumed.  Hopefully
I will finish this posting within a week.  In any case, cheer up, you can have
your cake (the -05 upgrade and all the bugs it fixes) and eat it too (i.e. use
the Fast Hack'em utilities).

Sincerely
