+==== Example #6 - Installing Undeadline and running it from Hard Drive ====
+ This method is similar to Example #5, was also discovered by Caius and can be very efficient with three or more floppy games which are immune to SUBST. In this example the first floppy disk is mounted as floppy drive 0:, the second and third as floppy drive 1:. The game rotates disk two and three automatically when needed.

+  * Rename first XDF floppy image file to Disk1, second to Disk2 and third to Disk3
+  * Copy 2HDSIM.X DRIVE.X and three renamed XDF image files to the created directory
+  * Create new !Start.bat file and write the following lines:

+drive a: b:
+hdsim 0: Disk1
+hdsim 1: Disk2
+hdsim 1: Disk3
