1. Copyrights.

  This  program  is  Public Domain, this means you can do with it what
you want (source code included).
  Remember,  use  this  program  on  your  own  risk.  I  will  not be
responsible  for  the side effects caused by the use or misuse of this
program.

2. Introduction.

  Have  you  ever  got PC0: and DS0: mounted both? Well, I have. Don't
you think it is irritating when the drive retries many times trying to
detect the disk format (3 times for PC0: and 3 time for DS0:). Well, I
think  it  IS!  So,  I have written this little AmigaDOS command which
will  solve  this problem. Just run it with suitable argument and your
drives  will  quickly  catch  the disk, even when several handlers are
bound to the 'trackdisk.device' unit.

3. Requirements.

  This  program is AmigaDOS 2.0+ only and will not run under Kick 1.3,
however it will not crash your Amiga.

4. Installation.

  Copy  the  SetTDRetry  to  your  C:  directory,  and  include in the
's:user-startup' file.

5. Usage.

  The AmigaDOS Template for SetTDRetry:

UNITS=U/N/M,RETRYCOUNT=RC/N/K,QUIET=Q/S

It can be displayed by running the command with '?' as argument.

UNITS      - Specify  the  unit  numbers  of  drives  to  be affected.
Actually trackdisk supports only 4 units 0,1,2 and 3.

RETRYCOUNT - The  retries  count  -  when not specified will be set to
default 10. Set this to 1,2 or 3.

QUIET      - when included, disables console output just like '>NIL:'.
