	Commodore DOS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Commodore DOS, aka CBM DOS, was the disk operating system used with Commodore's 8-bit computers.
		Unlike most other DOS systems before or since, CBM DOS was integrated in internal ROM chips in the floppy disk drives*, i.e.
		Inside Commodore DOS was a popular reference guide to the CBM 1541's CBM DOS 2.6.

	C=Hacking #05
		My apologies to the authors who have had their articles into me on time - school is coming first for me and having to do a lot of coding for several classes was the major contributing factor to the delays.
		All you would need to do to play a different music is to change the music data at the bottom, and a few lines of the code.
		Both the drums and the skydive do a very fast frequency down, so it is the most significant byte of the frequency which is reduced..

	Library: 31 - C-128 Toolkit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		RYAN DOS V3.0 is a dos utility for the C128 which allows you to perform many options including backup a file,collect disk,delete file, format a disk, erase a file, rename a disk or file, drive status, directory, and auto load a file.
		Most of the commands are the same as the 'other' DOS, so if you use this, you can sit down in front of a PC and actually look like you use one all the time.
		All you need do is point and click using a mouse in the Joystick mode, a joystick, or the up/down arrows and the return key.

		The latter uses the CBM character set extended by characters needed for the programming language C. Characters that do not exist in the destination character set are ignored.
		CBM graphic characters, the left arrow and the pound symbol will be ignored.
		By letting the C64 do some of the work currently done by the 1541 it could be possible to write complete sectors.

	The history of The Star Commander (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		If you started the Commander through SC.EXE and executed a DOS command when one of the panels was an external panel then a strange path would be offered when you tried to copy a file to the external drive and the manual file name conversion box would give you a blank file name.
		DOS file names are turned into lowercase while being converted to Commodore format; you can switch this off with "Keep uppercase chars".
		Wide DOS panels are now very similar to Full DOS panels, the only difference is that, in Wide panels, file names are not split into the name and extension parts.

		All CBM models where to offer optional internal dual diskete drives that were most similar to 8250 LP assemblies but only prototypes were ever produced and these in Europe only.
		However, do not plug in the audio jack lead of the cable if doing this as there is no audio output within the B-Series video connector, there is a separate mini-jack connector on the B-Series for audio output.
		Do not bother to look for the Z80 coprocessor board, it was officially dropped in early 1983 from internal Commodore memos I have.

		We're also going to be doing a few things that you may not expect -- instead of copying all 256 characters - we're gonna _just_ copy the first 128.
		What we'll do is to just specify the address on screen, the # of characters and then list the characters.
		The starting cluster number of the file to copy and the low and mid bytes of the file length are passed in the PK+18 and PK+20 interface words.

		Please refer to your DOS manual to accomplish this.
		It takes considerable time to load these DLLs under plain DOS, you can reduce the load-time by starting the CATSHELL tool once or using a DOS-box of any Windows system.
		All implemented filesystem routines are used for this, so you can see the long filenames of a VFAT disk under plain DOS.

	A test and application report of Nicolas Welte's 6502-RAMROM
		Now, with the patched ROMs, I was able to Flash other ROM banks without the need to switch back to the original CBM DOS 2.6 ROM (which worked flawlessly with all previous tests).
		I also tested Dolphin-DOS 3.0, which worked fine with the exception that it was nearly as slow as the original CBM DOS.
		They are based on the CBM ROM for the 1541-II disk drive, read the supplied text files for further documentation about the patches.

		If you do have the same problem just try experimenting with these two factors in mind (eventually it did (and still does) work for me)(there is a third factor, rumors tell, that it matters if the setting are written in capitals or not!!!).
		I do not feel quite as comfortable with it as I do with PC 64, but once you get it going it certainly does feel more like a C64.

		These versions however do not support macros, conditional assembly and included files like their expanded versions do.
		It is intended to replace the hex monitor programs often used for such debugging, but is much more powerful.

		So knowing that the drive is now in 1571 mode after using a 128 mode program, you can see that entering 64 mode without changing the status of the drive via a command or reset will yield a 64 computer running a 1571 drive in 1571 mode.
		Run the install DOS program (forget the exact name) from the floppy that came with your drive.

		A reason for that, apart from taking load from the host computer, is the serial bus itself: it's based on the IEEE-488 bus used in the PET-series (although CBM serial is slower and has fewer features), and requires 'intelligent peripherals' to handle the protocol.
		As mentioned earlier, CBM diskdrives are 'intelligent peripherals' and come with their own CIAs, PLA, RAM, ROM and CPU.
		Thus these chips' functions are similar to those in other Commodore computers and peripherals: the CIA is used for the drive's serial bus, and the PLA provides logic equations for adress decoding (required since the drive's 6502AD CPU also has 64K address space, shared between I/O, RAM and ROM).
