[Coco] CoCo 3 Projector 3 Blues: The program only gives errors to drive numbers higher than 1 (reposted because of possible size violation of previous message)

[Bob Devries]

Actually the disk drive select bytes are in FD502.DLL, and they are $01 $02 
$04 $40, which indicates 4 single-sided drives.

When the BOOT.BAS programme pokes the values, it messes up the drive table, 
and stops Vcc from working correctly.

If you REM lines 30, 40, 50 and 60, it may work.

Besides a mathematical inclination, an exceptionally good mastery of one's 
native tongue is the most vital asset of a competent programmer.
