Short: RDS - The "DiskSpare RAD" Author: hibisch@hotmail.com (HIBISCH - Philippe DUMONT) Uploader: hibisch@hotmail.com (HIBISCH - Philippe DUMONT) Type: disk/misc Well, here is something for you "DiskSpare device" users. Have you ever been bored with formatting DSx: floppies and having to filecopy all your little data files... It's long and boring ! The solution is RDS (RAD Disk Spare) it is a simple manipulation of the official RAD disk which allows you to copy (small) files directly to this device and then whole-diskcopy the result to DSx: disks. Advantage, it's faster : the time you'll spend diskcopying the RDS over your DSx: floppies, you would have only done a single format over a DSx: disk (and still would have to file-copy the stuff). Disadvantage, it only support Double Density disks. Well, anyway this should be of any use... I guess so ! INSTALLATION : simply copy to your SYS:Storage/DosDrivers directory and double-click on it. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 2657 637 76.0% 28-Dec-92 22:38:52 RDS.info 652 415 36.3% 28-Dec-92 22:38:04 +RDS 853 301 64.7% 28-Dec-92 22:38:52 +RDS.info 986 539 45.3% 28-Dec-92 22:50:22 +RDS.readme -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 5148 1892 63.2% 03-Feb-97 15:10:36 4 files
