- Don LeBow over on CIS (76704.41@compuserve.com) sent me an updated RAMBOOT3
- file for use with MYDOS. I uploaded both RMBOOT3A.AUT and RMBOOT3A.DOC to
- the atari.archive.
-
- Here is RMBOOT3A.DOC:
- ========================
- This is a fixed version of the
- RAMBOOT3 file that's distributed
- with the official release archive of
- MYDOS v4.50. The program initializes
- the RAMDISK, copies DUP.SYS and
- MEM.SAV to it, then finishes by
- copying any files it finds in a
- subdirectory named RAMDISK.
-
- Due to a transcription error in the
- source code, the copy routines work
- much slower than they should. If
- you've been using this program and
- have been wondering why it takes so
- long, then try this one. Rename
- RMBOOT3A.AUT to AUTORUN.SYS (or
- whatever you need for a Bootfile
- name.)
-
- Following is the section of code
- from the original RAMBOOT3.M65 that
- has been changed:
-
- 3540 ;COPY DUP.SYS FROM D1: TO D8:
- 3550 ;
- 3560 COPIES LDX #$30
- 3570 LDA #12
- 3580 STA ICMD,X
- 3590 JSR CIOV
- 3600 JSR CLOSIT
- 3610 SEC
- 3620 LDA MEMTOP
- 3630 SBC #BSS&255
- 3640 STA BUFLEN
- 3650 LDA MEMTOP+1
- 3660 SBC #BSS/256
- 3661 ;bug fix!
- 3662 ;following was STA BUFLEN
- 3670 STA BUFLEN+1
-
-
- Hope you find this useful.
