|  Re: Disk Doctor (v4.0)
By the way, the bug in Disc Doctor (Pigmy) is actually a very simple one: the program uses the value in $AE to determine the device number to be used, but if there have been no disk operations since reset, then it will be zero and cause the "device not present" error.
So, the workaround is simply listing the directory of the drive to be used (in the case of unit 8, simply pressing F3) first, and then the utility will start without problems.
However, I have a modified .prg file (http://www.sharemation.com/IstvanV/disc_doctor_pigmy_fixed.prg) that will automatically set $AE to 8 if it is not already in the range 8 to 11.
