 Tolkin's Belt-Regenerator / Idea, Design and Graphics by Tolkin of FutureSoft
 =============================================================================

Who doesn't know this? The CPC or the 6128plus is left unused for a while, and
after switching it on and typing 'CAT', you get: 'Disc missing'. Why is that?
After some time of rest, the drive belt adapts to the shape of the small wheel
on the drive motor. So a strong bend forms in the rubber.
If you want to use the drive again, the drive belt wobbles! -> Error!

What can you do?
----------------
To save the drive belts, you just use the new DOS ROMs!!!
The following four files contain the belt regenerator patch!
This causes the drive belt to be turned just a little further each time the
computer is turned on. No humps are formed, the belts remain smooth! :-)
