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
