app, it's very usefll tool because it can lowlevel format and make the
partions and test controller and disc....

Onderwerp: Plus Hardcard 20 software?

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.
