Against better judgement, I attempted to low-level format a Plus
Hardcard 20 and completely borked it (with the wrong format, the
controller won't init and the thing is now a brick). Does anyone have
the Plus Hardcard 20 install diskette?
The HardCard is shipped in a partitioned and formatted state, with a
number of files included on it. The directory of files is as follows:
INSTALL EXE 47479 1-01-80 12:06a
HCD BAT 30 1-01-80 12:07a
HCD1 BAT 128 1-01-80 12:07a
HCD2 EXE 54769 1-01-80 12:07a
HCD3 DAT 13440 1-01-80 12:07a
HCD3 DIF 704 1-01-80 12:07a
HCD6 SCR 4224 1-01-80 12:07a
PREPARE BAT 235 1-01-80 12:08a
SHELL BAT 18 1-01-80 12:07a
LIGHT COM 145 1-01-80 12:07a
SOUND COM 145 1-01-80 12:07a
PATCHFMT EXE 12670 1-01-80 12:08a
INSTALL DAT 425 1-01-80 12:06a
The original Plus install program creates a floppy diskette containing
the Plus files, as above, but also performs several other operations to
make it what they refer to as the "REINSTALL" diskette. This Reinstall
diskette can later be used for reformatting the HardCard.
Anyone have this?? I am killing myself for bricking the card and would
really love to get it back.
