-
- Documentation:
-
- Over5 64binaries are: DiskSlave, MemSlave, MemSlaveC800, SerFile & FastRS.
-
-
-
- DiskSlave:
- ----------
- DiskSlave is a disk server for the c64/1541. It supports the following:
- READ/WRITEFILE (COPY), DIR, STATUS, COMMAND, READ/WRITEDISK and TEST.
- Includes diskturbo for: read/writefile, read/writedisk and fastformat.
- The diskturbo code can be switched off at the menu.
-
- USAGE:
- Load and run.
- To restart after reset or similar, type 'SYS 2069'.
-
-
-
- MemSlave & MemSlaveC800:
- ------------------------
- MemSlave is a memory server for the c64. It supports the following:
- READ/WRITEMEM, SYS, RUN.
-
- USAGE:
- Load and run.
- To restart after reset or similar, type 'SYS 2069'.
- (SYS 51200 for MemSlaveC800)
-
-
-
- SerFile:
- --------
- SerFile uses the Amiga as harddisk server. (run 'Over5 Server')
-
- USAGE:
- Load and run.
- Now it is installed ($f600-$ffff)
-
- Commands:
-
- 'LOAD "<FILENAME>",6'
- '#L"<FILENAME>"'
- '/ "<FILENAME>"' or '/<FILENAME>'
- Loads the file from the server into memory.
-
- 'SAVE "<FILENAME>",6'
- '#S"<FILENAME>"'
- Saves file from memory to the server.
-
- '#C"<COMMAND>"'
- '."<COMMAND"' or '.<COMMAND>'
- Sends command to the server. ('#$' can be used instead of '#C"$"')
-
- '#C"DIR"'
- '#C"$"'
- '#$'
- '$'
- '.$'
- Displays the files in the current directory.
-
- '#C"CD"'
- '.CD'
- Displays the name of the current directory.
-
- '#C"CD <dir>"'
- '.CD <dir>'
- Set the current directory to <dir>.
-
- Please refer to Over5.doc for additional '#C' commands.
-
- '#K'
- Uninstalls SerFile.
-
- The '#L', '/' and '#S' commands are slightly better than 'LOAD' / 'SAVE' because
- they do not use BASIC variable storage to store the filename. (i.e they do
- not trash memory just below $a000)
-
- SerFile looks dead during transfer. (screen blanked, no flashing)
- This is normal! I will make it flash a bit in late versions.
-
-
-
- FastRS:
- -------
- FastRS is a memory transferrer for the c64, much like a tapeturbo, It
- supports the following: SIMPLEREAD and SIMPLEWRITE.
-
- USAGE:
- Load and run.
- Now it is installed. ($fc00-$ffff)
-
- To receive:
- type 'SYS 700'. You will see the text 'WAITING...' and then
- the screen blanks. Now type 'Over5 SIMPLEWRITE <filename>' on the Amiga to
- send.
-
- To send:
- Start 'Over5 SIMPLEREAD <filename>' on the Amiga. It should tell you
- 'Waiting...'. Now type 'SYS 703' on the c64 to send.
-
-
-
-
-
- System requirements:
-
- Over5 64binaries should run on any c64 or c128(in c64 mode), although it
- has only been tested on an old c64 with, and without TFC III. If you find
- bugs or have suggestions about how to make any of the programs better please
- send a bugreport and/or a list of suggestions to the address at the end of
- this text.
