SD SNATCHER - HDD version
-------------------------

If you want to play SD Snatcher from HD follow these steps:

1. Copy SD1.XSA, SD2.XSA and SD3.XSA to your MSX hard disk

2. Use XSD.COM to extract the compressed DSK images:

                   XSD SD1.XSA SD1.DSK (Enter)
                   XSD SD2.XSA SD2.DSK (Enter)
                   XSD SD3.XSA SD3.DSK (Enter)

   You'll get three new files:

                   SD1.DSK
                   SD2.DSK
                   SD3.DSK

                   (Each file should have a size of 737.280 bytes)

3. Use NDIC.COM to create a blank disk image that will let you save situations during the game:

                   NDIC SD4.DSK d (Enter)

4. Now concat the files to obtain a unique DSK file that contains the four disks of the game: 

                   concat /b SD1.DSK+SD2.DSK+SD3.DSK+SD4.DSK SD.DSK (Enter)

                   (The new SD.DSK file should have a size of 2.949.120 bytes)

5. Run the program MAP.COM to prevent memory conflicts:
                   MAP (Enter)

6. Start the FDD emulation with the program START.COM:
                   START SD.DSK (Enter)

7. The game will start. To change the disks during the FDD emulation keep pressed the key of
   the required disk (1..4) and then push the space bar.
