This is a small patch for the great IDEfix97 software by Oliver Kastl
It patches some routines in the IDEfix executable to make it a bit faster.
Usually you should get a 100-300KB speedup on IDE HD drives.
This is very good since PPC Blizzard cards are realy slow with IDE HD's

USE THIS PATCH ON YOUR OWN RISK! IT WORKS FOR ME & MY FRIENDS, IF IT DOSN'T
WORK FOR YOU - FORGET ABOUT IT!

To Oliver Kastl: If this patch works fine, why shouldn't you implement it inside
                 your software? So that this patch is never needed anymore.
                 

TECHNICAL:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
I am not the author of the patch, but as far as I understand some instructions
were changed for better optimized ones.


INSTALLATION:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Unpack to a dir with original IDEfix 109.10 (17/02/99) 27728

Then cd to that dir via shell and type:

spatch IDEfix

a new file named IDEfix.new will be created
now do whatever you wish with it


HISTORY:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This is first public version but a very long time ago used one ;-)
