This install applies to "Music Disk 1" © 1991 81st Track.
Requirements:
-------------
This install requires WHDLoad and RawDIC to be in the path.
These programs can be found in the WHDLoad package.
To install from a different drive than DF0: select installation mode Expert.
The installed demo requires 0.5 MB ChipMem and 0.5 MB OtherMem (+0.9 MB for preload)
It can be quit by pressing F10 (key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey=").
Features:
---------
- Full load from HD (real files!)
- Interrupt fixed
- OS stuff patched
- Serial port code disabled (hidden message)
- Decrunchers relocated to fast memory
- Source code included as usual
- NewIcon (created by me)
- Quit option that works on 68000 machines (default key is 'F10')
This patch was made just for fun when I arrived at work this morning.
Found this music disk yesterday by coincidence and liked the tunes
so I just had to make a patch for it.
Code is quite clean, I only had to fix the vertical blank interrupt.
The keyboard routine used system calls so that had to be rewritten
too.
The demo originally loaded the data in 512 bytes blocks. To avoid
OS swaps I coded a RawDIC imager to save all data as real files.
The demo also had a hidden text which was sent through the serial
port. I have disabled that code. You can find the hidden message
at the end of this text.
You can download the demo here:

Not much more to say, have a nice summer everyone and enjoy
the demo from HD now.

Greetings to all in Scarab and Scoopex, the WHDLoad team, PMC,
Musashi5150, Skan, Slummy, Loaderror, Frequent, Wayne Kerr, Mr.Spiv
and all the other usual suspects. :)
Special greetings to all Golf MK1 fans worldwide except those
lowlifes who "borrowed" my MK1 for a joyride!
Extra greetings to the usual suspects on #amigascne, see you all at
Revision 2013! :)
Here's the hidden message that the demo sent through the serial port:
The 81st Track Music Disk - Hidden text
So, here it is: the hidden text - is this the first time a hidden text has
been sent through the serial port? I know that the CDTV game Psycho Killer
sends stuff to the serial port, but I don't know of a demo doing such a thing
so I thought it would be a nice idea if I did just that.
Unfortunately, this text has been severely shortened cos I gotta get this disk
to work with an A500+
And now I will have to give you some nice information about The 81st Track
and this music disk:

Text: Aardvark, Powerslave
There now follows a description of all the tracks:
01 The 81st Track Theme
Written by Aardvark (on MED v1.12) and now used (in NoiseTracker)
as the theme tune.
02 Power Mix
Written by Powerslave, this tune is a mix of various tunes that
just about everyone should know.
03 Monty On The Run
Written by Rob Hubbard and moduled by Aardvark. Based on a Sonix
version by Allister Brimble.
04 Enola Gay
Written by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, moduled by Aardvark,
and includes a sample from the original version.
05 Aardvark Goes Mad
Guess who wrote this one. This is quite a small module, but I think
it's quite nice (well, I did write it).
06 Automagic Aardvark
Written by Aardvark (again) and has a neat ending (well, both me
and The Mad One agree on it).
07 Auf Wiedersehen Monty
Moduled by Aardvark, but I don't know who wrote the original.
08 Home By The Sea
Written by Genesis, moduled by Aardvark (that name again). If you
haven't already bought it, but the "We Can't Dance" Album (BRILL!)
09 Piano Thing
Just a nice soothing piece of music using only one sample! It is
basically here to pad a bit of free disk space, but is nice enough
to be one of the main tunes. The tune is actually the theme from
The Deer Hunter, but "Piano Thing" is the name of the module (It
sort of changed was it was during the module making process).
10 SuperSound
Written by Aardvark, and is (I think) the longest tune on this disk.
A couple of samples were modified especially for use on this module.
11 Demo Ridicule
This module includes the voice of The Mad One. He is also known to
impersonate Frank Bruno during the module. His voice sample was to
be used in a demo some time ago, but the demo was abandoned...
12 Equinoxe Part 5
This is for all the Jean-Michel Jarre fans out there! It is a
modified version of a module we plan to use at a later date, along
with some other modules...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, that just about wraps this text up, except
to say that you've been a wonderful crowd here
(or should that be there) and we've enjoyed every
minute of putting this disk together for you.
