NOTES:
* The imager asks you for 2 disks, in fact, leave the only disk in the drive (or for IPF file users
just press "Start" again). The reason for this is that v1.0 install used 2 disk images for 1 disk,
and the simplest way to make this happen with RawDIC was to ask for 2 disks.
* up to version 2.0 only version SPS1572 was supported, and imager created disk images which can be
truncated (no data on those tracks, other SPS versions don't have those tracks). If you want to shorten
the diskfiles, just reinstall. Else leave it be.
CHEAT:
When you get the prompt to enter your code, type in SUZANNE (on old versions it was SARA) and then return.
Now, anytime you wish, you can enter the hidden modification program and edit your ship and cargo!
To enter this program, hit the HELP key or the * key on the keypad.
To exit, hit the ESC key.
When you enter, you will be asked for the byte you wish to change, and then you will be asked for the replacement
value, below is a chart to help you become elite:
Note: you have to set CUSTOM1=1 to enable this feature, or protection will be completely skipped
