 Well you should really find a copy of CDM (Color Disk Manager). I did not
know about it until Steve Ostrom posted about it.

But the answer to questions #1, is to type it in. It's short and even
shorter if you don't type in the comments.

The answer to question #2 is: The buffer between $6000 and $6FFF.

Also add this line:

185 POKE &HFF40,0: ' STOP DISK FROM SPINNING

Thank you for the compliment on my blog.
