OS9 tools for the CoCoSDC
Posted: Mon Nov 29, 2021 7:09 pm
Hi all,
After some grumbling about the CoCoSDC not being very usable under OS9 on the Dragon... here are a set of tools to make it easy to do the usual things you might want to do - Show details of or change mounted images, show or change the current working directory, show a directory listing etc.
These are mostly ports of Barry Nelson and Tim Lindner's work for the CoCo, but the functionality has been re-organised somewhat so the grouping under different commands is a little more logical (to my mind), and there's a new 'cd' style command, schd, for changing the working directory or showing the current working directory path. They should work under OS9 or Nitros9 with both the vanilla DDisk floppy driver and the RBSuper/LlCocoSDC native driver.
The attached zip contains
* Commands and source code on an os9 format disk image (80 Track, double sided, effectively a headerless DSK)
* A command summary sheet (PDF)
