Version 5.3 Deluxe Option Board
-------------------------------

New Information
---------------

This file contains additions made to the software after the manual had
gone to print.

The Deluxe Option Board will fully support the Adaptec model 2372B floppy
disk controller.

MCP will now support Macintosh binary file formats.  This means that MCP
can properly copy a Macintosh file that is downloaded via modem on a PC.

In addition, MCP has a new parameter which allows you to specify the Type
and Creator to assign to a file being copied from a PC to a Macintosh.

Its format is

/Cxxxxxxxx

where xxxxxxxx is an eight character string; the first four characters
specify the Type and the last four specify the Creator.  The string must
be exactly eight characters long and is upper/lower case sensitive.  
There must not be any spaces between the /C and the xxxxxxxx.

Example:

/CTEXTmdos  sets the Type to "TEXT" and the Creator to "mdos"
/CabcdXYZq  sets the Type to "abcd" and the Creator to "XYZq"

/Cxxxxxxxx overrides any automatic determination of Type and Creator.  For
example, if the IBM file extension is .SEC, the Macintosh file will be 
given a Type of "DesC" and a Creator of "DesE."  However, if the /C 
parameter is specified, the Type and Creator will be set to the user 
specified values.

Like the older version of TCM, the version on this disk can be used to
make multiple copies.  This option is not shown in the enclosed Deluxe
Option Board manual.  If your duplication needs are approaching high
volume, we recommend you contact Trace, Inc for their SmartCopy
software.  (There is more information about SmartCopy in the manual.)


THANK YOU FOR YOUR PURCHASE OF THE DELUXE OPTION BOARD.
