Re: Issues with the driveWire interface

I don't remember exactly but it was ment to be something like:
Drive Wire Extended Executable Binaries ... Tormod Volden could tell us the exact meaning!
These are programs written in assembler that read and write from/to the DW server
using the DWRead and DWWrite std routines
In fact you could do anything you could imagine ...
I created dweebs to see the directory of an VDK: VDIR
Then another to load any file. VLOAD and VLOAD1
LROM to load and run any ROM from DW4 (needs a 64k machine)
And to me the ones I needed to convert the VDK to physical floppies:
FLO2V and V2FLO to copy between the two formats (VDK <-> floppy)
Later I made LDA to load plain ASCII Basic files
In that thread you will find many others by Tormod
