                   MagiC IDE Patch v1.3 (September 17, 1996)
               Written by Daniel Hedberg of New Beat Development


  WHAT THIS PATCH DOES
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    MAGPATCH.TTP forces MagiC to skip the check for internal IDE drives on
  Atari Falcon030 computers. This check is very annoying on systems with only
  SCSI devices, as it takes MagiC forever to discover there are no IDE drives
  present.

    This version is able to patch version 4.01, 4.02, 5.00, 5.01, and 5.02 of
  MagiC. Make sure you have a backup of the MAGIC.RAM file before you try to
  patch it. If MagiC does not work after the patch is done, replace the
  patched MAGIC.RAM with the old one. Of course it is always possible to
  re-install MagiC as well.

    I take no responsibility whatsoever for this patch, you are entirerly on
  your own if you intend to use it.


  HOW TO USE IT
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The easiest way to patch your copy of MagiC is to use the "drag and drop"
  technique. Locate the file MAGIC.RAM (should be located in the root-
  directory of your boot drive) and drag it to the MAGPATCH.TTP file, and
  drop it when it becomes selected.
  
    Another way is to double click on the MAGPATCH.TTP file and enter the
  path to the MAGIC.RAM file (e.g. C:\MAGIC.RAM) in the dialog box that
  appears.

    The program will now load the MAGIC.RAM file and patch it. If anything
  goes wrong you will be notified. If not, you will never have to wait in
  agony for MagiC to boot-up anymore.
