Just before I sold my copy recently, I found that my original wouldn't

boot either when my Zip was enabled.  My deprotected disk worked fine,

though.



Here's my personal crack.  It's very simple.  With a block editor, make

the following changes to the FASTBREAK.SYS16 file (on a copy, of

course):



byte $3E0 (block 2, byte $1E0): change $22 to $AF

byte $3E7 (block 2, byte $1E7): change $F0 to $80



Note that those offsets are relative to the start of the FASTBREAK.SYS16

file.  If your block editor does not support editing files, the actual

block number was $000A on my disk, but this may change from disk to

disk.



Let me know if that helps.



Michael
