In many cases, the defect is in the main FAT area. After running this program, TOS will use the spare copy of the FAT (sectors 1-5) rather than the main copy (sectors 6-10), when reading from drive A or B. After you copy the files off the disk you should reboot. After the (uuencoded) program: An updated version of 'scache': this one avoids reinstalling itself in RAM if you run it again. - Moshe Braner ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cut here and also later ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ begin 644 THIN.TOS M8!H #> $AY 1#\\ "9.3ER/2'D M "P/SP "4Y!7(]"@%* #( PU ;0#_]DHY KF8$0F=.04)G+SP ( M/SP ,4Y!(GP 1V(%$@*/_X#(!42$E.5OD "N9@).=4'Y =B%1__PB MB$YU5$A)3@ P+P .#$ FPF,"\ !&<$ F8:,"\ # Q 9M$-!O M H,0 +;@8$;P % P@>0 ').T #0H*"2=42$E.)R!I;G-T86QL960N C("A296)O;W0@=VAE;B!D;VYE(2D-"@H (.'"P*1@ end ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cut here too ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ begin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
