- PRODUCT INFORMATION
- ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- OS9MAX is a unique software solution to handle OS-9 disks on MS-DOS PC. The
- software allows any read, write, and format operation on single-, double-, and
- high-density diskettes. Custom versions for PCMCIA chipcards, media imagefiles
- and hard disks are available on demand. Your can transfer text and binary
- files from the floppy disk drive to the PC hard disk and vice versa with full
- path name as you know it from MS-DOS and OS-9. The program can be completely
- remote-controlled via its command line or by means of an ascii command file,
- which contains the program command list. OS9MAX allows automatic format detect
- and manual setting of all physical disk parameters (tracks, sectors, sector
- offset, track offset, sector size, block size, format headcode, double
- stepping, density,.. ). After detection or manual specification of the disk
- format parameter, you can add the format to the internal format list with a
- single command. OS9MAX allows any PC to transfer OS-9 diskettes via modem and
- telephone line. The reproduction or duplication of OS-9 media is supported.

- format. A 'user-defined-format' option is provided. OS9MAX is highly parameter
- driven, every format paramter is adjustable by the user. The disk format
- descriptors can be saved as ASCII files.

- SPECIAL FORMATS & HARDWARE
- ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- If you receive the demonstration version of OS9MAX and you will not be able to
- read the desired diskettes, please give us a call or fax. We will incorporate
- this special format into our software as soon as possible. We have many more
- solutions available than listed in this information.
-
- The OS9MAX software supports special diskette drives and controllers to handle
- Japanese media formats with FM recording. OS9MAXMC supports external PCMCIA
- drives.
-
- If you have the media with OS-9 data - we make the media readable from DOS !
-
-
- CUSTOMIZING
- ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- What we need is only a OS-9 disk for testing purposes which has already been
- formatted on your OS-9 system. Please write some files and directories to the
- media after formatting: this will allow extensive testing over the entire
- media.
-
-
- SAMPLE PROGRAM SESSION HOW TO START
- ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- This demonstration does not reflect the SAA style desktop of OS9MAX because
- demonstration starts with '/m0' option (TTY = non SAA mode).
-
- 1. Start OS9MAX
- 2. List directory of OS-9 media
- 3. Terminate OS9MAX
-
- Insert OS-9 media into the selected drive, the start the program by typing at
- the MS-DOS prompt:
-
- ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
