Hi Jon, the dweeb had been corrected along development. But it had another flaw. Now it works OK as simple VDIR But when using DLOAD"VDIR"F"DISK/DiskName" using your Gamesdisk2 it ends abnormally. Looking at the RAM used to build the text table, I have found a lot of spaces between files so it grows...

Hi, Ciaran I have been using your asm6809 for some time. Now I wanted to compile a program for DriveWire, that contains lines like this one: JSR (DWRVEC) ; indirect addressing mode being: DWRVEC FDB $0000 When this is compiled with DskDream the resulting code is: AD 9F xxxx When I try it with asm680...

Hello Jon, back again with more news! You have converted me into an unconditional of DosPlus4.9 (maybe I will give a chance to v5.0 too) I have copied all of the files from dsk2 to a new formatted one with the basic program and has worked OK The free bytes number is now 17,920 as my Java app calcula...

Hi Jon, now that the Java app is working fine, I have tried to copy all of the files from dsk2 to a new blank one, just to see if the DOS really needs more that 10 extents for just a file despite it is the last one and so more prone to fragmentation. Have tried with DDOS11C, DDOS12A, SDOSE6 and SDOS...

Hello, Java works now flawlessly with the three disks, but ... Inside that App I programmed a small function that compares the FAT against the directory entries and detects the sectors that have not the same status in both places. The disk2 has this 'difference': Sector 3 (numbered from 0 will be nu...

more on that question. Your disk2 is really a perfect test to pass! The game 3DSWARS.EXE is sooo fragmented that after having occupied the 4 normal extensions, it gets a whole directory entry (7 more extensions) and besides these, it needs another two! I am pleased to tell you that I had never worke...

Hi, using my Java app has given the very same error. This is the app I just 'copied' when building the dweeb so it has inherited that error. Debugging the Java app I have found the reason why this has happened: When a file needs more than one entry in the directory, usually it occupies another one i...

Hi all, I have got my drivewire adaptor working now on a D64, all seems to behave as expected and have been playing with some of the very useful dweebs posted here. Have encountered one of my disks though that VDIR doesn't want to process. It doesn't generate an error (either on the Dragon or the s...

the BIN I uploaded as CAS and WAV work right for me.
The same applies to the VDK with it and the basic loader.

Test in a Dragon 32 and Dragon64 with and without drives

If anyone would like to have a look at the source code, here is the disassembled listing for the ML routine(s)
