Readme for XDISK I used to have an SCSI HD that made a lot of noise. For some "applications" (that is: games), I copied the needed files AND xdisk to a ramdisk; then I used xdisk to turn off the HD. At the end of the game (some hours later), when I wanted to save a highscore, I turned the HD on again - with xdisk. xdisk 0 turns the harddisk off xdisk 1 turns the harddisk on. The program requires that config.sys contains a line like: DEVICE = ASPI?DOS.SYS /D Those drivers (aspi2dos.sys, aspi7dos.sys...) are delivered with the SCSI installation software. The program xdisk.pas is based on the ASPIXDOS library, published in c't 12/1993 (Authors: Ulf Rohbeck and Georg Schnurer). If xdisk.pas is recompiled with Turbo Pascal, the library aspixdos.tpu must be present; you can remake this by compiling the file aspixdos.pas (included in xdisk.zip).
