Yes. Load the sector containing the "Mdriver" file to memory using
READ AT d,t,s,65536 where d=drive, t= track and s= sector
then POKE 65546,32: POKE 65833,1 .
Finaly return the modified code to disk using WRITE AT d,t,s,65536
If you do not know the track/sector of the file then save it to a BLANK disk
then it will be at track 4, sector 1 or use the listing below which will
locate the file from the directory entry.
10 INPUT "Drive (1 or 2) ";d
20 DIR d "mdriver"
30 INPUT " Enter number of 'Mdriver' file ";f
40 LET f=f-1,t=f DIV 20,s=(f MOD 20 DIV 2)+1,p= 256*f MOD 2
50 READ AT d,t,s,65536
60 LET t=PEEK (65549+p), s=PEEK (65550+p)
70 READ AT d,t,s,65536
80 POKE 65546,32: POKE 65833,19
90 WRITE AT d,t,s,65536
