IIc+DrvStop.shk (by Jay Edwards and Tony Cianfaglione) - 2004
      -------------------------------------------------------------

   Due to a bug in the firmware of the IIc+, internal and external drives
continue running when using A2Desktop v1.1.  IIc+DrvStop will disconnect
and reconnect the drives, electronically, when needed.  This reduces wear
and tear on your drives as well as quieting the noise.

   CAUTION: IIc+DrvStop disconnects your drives by temporarily removing
your computer's ability to recognize that the drives are present.  You
should never attempt to physically plug or unplug your drives to or from
the computer while it is running.  Doing so could electrically destroy
your drives and your computer.

   NOTE: Once fully loaded into /RAM4, total files will use 163k of ram
so a ram card of some sort will be needed.  If you have a 1 mb ram card,
you will have 861k remaining.

 1. Whether you already have A2Desktop or not, you can download
    IIc+DrvStop.shk as well as A2Desktop at:

    http://www.chebucto.ca/Services/PDA/AppleIIMiscellaneous.shtml

 2. Unshrink the SHK file to open 3 files: Selector.List, No.Floppies.bas, 
    and Yes.Floppies.bas.  A 4th file 'Hook.bin' is needed to make it all
    work.  Hook can be obtained on SoftDisk #98 for $5.00USD and is
    available from Syndicomm at: 

    http://www.syndicomm.com (look under their online store)

 3. Move all but Selector.List along with a copy of Basic.System to the
    A2Desktop v1.1 system disk and place the files in the Desk.Acc folder.
    Put Selector.List in the directory with Prodos, replacing the Selector
    file you have now.  CAUTION: If you have already modified your current
    Selector file, you can just modify it to add the ability to run No
    and Yes.Floppies rather than overwriting your current Selector.List.

 4. Boot A2Desktop on your IIc+.  The 4 files in the Desk.Acc folder will
    be added to /RAM4 automatically upon boot.  Your Selector.List will be
    added to the drop-down menu selection.

 5. Move any files/programs you wish to work with to /RAM4 as your drives
    will be inaccessable after No.Floppies is run.

    NOTE: If you are fortunate enough to have a hard drive on your IIc+,
    depending on the size (20, 40, 100mb and number of partitions), your
    partitions and 3.5" drives will be remapped by your computer and you
    will require modified versions of No.Floppies and Yes.Floppies so that
    your hard drive partitions will still be fully accessible while the
    drives have been quieted.  Use Slot Scan (available free at this
    website) to determine to which slots and drive locations your
    partitions and 3.5" drives are being remapped and edit the BASIC
    files to change the pertinent slots to match your own.  The current
    files were created on a IIc+ without a hard drive or CFFA card.

 6. Run No.Floppies to disconnect your drives using the OA-1 command, the 
    drop-down menu or double-clicking on the program itself from either
    the disk or /RAM4/Desktop/Desk.Acc.

 7. Run Yes.Floppies using the OA-2 command, from the drop-down menu or
    from /RAM4/Desktop/Desk.Acc by double-clicking on the program to
    reconnect your drives when needed.  Yes.Floppies cannot be run from
    the disk as the drives will be inaccessible until it has been run.

 8. During disconnect and reconnect, the desktop will reload but your work
    in /RAM4 will be untouched, allowing you to save your work to your
    disks once they have been reconnected and then allowing you to
    disconnect them again.

    SPECIAL THANKS: Hook.bin was written by the legendary Bill Tudor and
         without which this drive-running fix would not be possible.
