Try these steps:

- Insert the IRONFRT1 disk in floppy drive 0 and the PATIRON disk in drive
1.

- Enter the commands DRIVE 1:POKE 235,1:DOS

- When the file selection screen appears press the "1" key to display the
files from drive 1 then use the arrow keys to select BOOT.BAS and press
ENTER.


You only need to run the defeater tool for the IRONFRT1 disk.  The
INRONFRT2 disk (graphics) is not copy protected.
