fee will be accepted. Those of you that have already sent the Yearly
Shareware fee in. Thank you!

I can be reached on my BBS. Telnet or hyperterm to ‘tcpipexpress.com’ port
8888, 8889, and 8890.
Inside the 8-bit BBS is attached to the Internet and running real Atari
Hardware along with MULTIPLEXER. A serial to Ethernet device (Lantronix
uds200) and Ape makes this possible
Port 8888 will attach you to an MIO
Port 8889 will attach you to a Ken Jones MIO
Port 8890 will attach you to an APE Modem
Notice
This DOS is shareware, which mean you can run it for 30 days. At the end of
30 days you can register it or remove it from your system. You are on the
honor system REAL.DOS dos not contain any code that would prevent it from
running longer. However after this release only people who have registered
will receive updates. This computer program is distributed on an "as is"
basis without warranty of any kind. This version of Real.Dos contains both
the Mux SIO and none Mux SIO. This DOS will realize how it is being called
and will load the proper SIOV handler for your need's. By configuring the
DOS this way, allows the US Doubler 1050 disk drives to function in hi-speed
mode again.
This version of Real.Dos was written to fully utilize the BLACK Box and
the MULTIPLEXER. While this version of the DOS was written for these
devices they ARE NOT necessary to use, An MIO will work just fine with the
dos. This dos was primarily designed for Ken and I, and Hard drive system
as well as other Power Users systems. Ok enough of this junk. Here a list
of the changes;
It is my intent to produce only assembly source code. I have a lot of
source That is in action, mac/65, c ECT. In some cases I am writing totally
new code from Scratch, in other cases I am dissembling correcting coding
bugs and/or adding, features to programs.
HEED this warning. THIS is a BIG DOS project and with any DOS a programming
error or hardware configuration that has not been tested can scramble a disk
partition. So maintain your original configuration in a backed up form. APE
INTERFACE is a good way to this, or put a NEW HARDISK in that you can afford
to reformat. This is TESTING and thing do go bad sometimes. At no time will
I ever give you a compiled file that I know there is a problem with, but
things must be tested. I also want to know what you want to see in Real.Dos,
I may not jump right on it, but I will take a hard look at it and determine
when the function may be added.
The ICD SpartaDos is a fine product, it has some problems and we want to
correct them all. I would have corrected them under the SpartDos name.
However I do not want my name and company to be associated with FTe, Mike
Holman, or others that have claimed ownership to things I have written that
were NEVER sold to them. So here is the basic scoop of the difference
between SpartaDos X3.3d and Real.dos.
$700 = ‘S’ All SpartaDos versions.
$700 = ‘R’ All Real.Dos versions.
$701 = Dos version number $33= Version 3.3
$701 = Dos version number $10 = Version 1.0
All other comtab variables are the same. There are some new ones in
Real.Dos.
The “Sparta.com” file will toggle the $700 location for ‘S’ to ‘R’. This is
important because many programmers used the $700 location to tell if you are
running SpartaDos or not. While Real.dos is backwards compatibles with
SpartaDos, my command files MAY NOT BE. So as a general rule don’t even try.
I will let you know the ones that will work. Like, “tdline2.com and bat.com”.
I hope to get the support command files up and running so I can focus on
making external command shell for Real.Dos. This will give us memlow back
again.
PLEASE do not give out copies of REAL.DOS! For any reason. Send me an e-mail
of who, what, or why this person wants a beta copy of Real.Dos.

NOTE:
ADDED
When DOS is booting
Holding down any CONSOL key will give you a menu to select SIOV type. This
was done so that as new hardware gets designed. You can control the siov
handler you wish to use. If you are not holding down a consol key during
boot Real.dos will configure SIOV for you.
Start = US Doubler SIOV
Select = OS SIOV
Option = Let Dos make the choice
CLI
(Command Line Interface) Changes
removed "ainit" function
added md for making directory
added mkdir for making directory
added rd for remove directory
added rmdir for removing a directory
added chdir for changing a directory
added cd for changing a directory
added cls for clearing the screen
added ver for version of the dos
added cold for cold start of computer
added echo for turning the screen on and off
added case insensitivity (lower case ok to use)
added mux compatible CIO handler
added drive 9 support
Note: That all the classic SpartaDos command are STILL valid except for the
ainit.

very useful when copying a large amount of file(s) to a ramdisk.
Some of the new files on this ATR
Please enjoy this ATR. A lot of hours when into it this ATR build. Yet I am
still not done. Oh well, I will keep working. Please let me know what you
think of the command files
SSC.COM
"Super Sector
Copy" This will allow you to make ATR's the size of your source drive from 4
to 65535 sectors, floppies or hard drive and then sector copy them to the
target ATR. Support's the APE, MUX, Black Box, MIO, Ramdisk's "must use my
ramdisk.com" <note> if you have a black box and a partition map ssc.com will
backup you entire hard drive from the command line. 'ssc parm1 parm2' parm1
= black box temp drive, Parm2 is the ape drive. Be aware this can take
several days to run depending on the size of your hard drive. SSC, will map
your black box according to you partition map, create an ATR file the same
as you partition map name and then sector copy to the atr of the same name.
SSC do not care how big or small your drives are... It will just make an
image of them. If you wish to just copy a partition or two just type in 'ssc'
and it will bring up a menu that has
help screens in it.
MOUNT.COM
from SpartaDos or Real.dos you can mount the ATR you wish
UNMOUNT.COM
you can unmount an ATR from the command line.
MAKE_ATR.COM
from the command line you can make any size ATR you wish, single or double
density, Mount it and also build a directory.
<note> building a directory requires double density.
TDLINE2.COM
has the fix for y2k and correctly takes care of the day of the week. Pulls
time from r-time 8, APE, or Mux depending on your configuration. Also this
tdline2 is aware if it has already been loaded and will update the time and
then exit without reloading the handler.
RAMDISK.COM
ram disk handler that can be re-entered. This ram disk handler will function
in single or double density you can change it's drive letter or map it out
all together. Then re-map it when you are ready. Also you must tell it to
format. so if you soft boot your machine and re-boot dos a simple 'ramdisk
d9:' will re-install the handler. You can also sector edit the ram disk.
With ssc you can sector copy it to an atr file. This is the very tool was
used in creating the ATR for this d/load
RAM_LOAD.COM
will load an image file byte for byte to restore a ram disk.
<note> you must be using my ram disk handler.
RAM_CAP.COM
will save the entire contents of a ram disk to an image file.
<must be using my ramdisk handler>
OS_CAP.COM
will copy your OS out
to either an IBM image file or Bob burner file.
<no need to desolder to have a chip image>
OS_MENU.COM
the support file for
the SMARTOS that I use.
PARK.COM
com will look into what kind of pbi device you have and Park it correctly.
Black Box and MIO only.
TURBOSS.COM
High speed screen Handler.
HDFMTDIR.COM
will read the percom table calculate the amount of sectors and build a new
directory on anything. Yes Anything! Black Box PBI drives, hard drive
partitions, ram disk <if you are using my ram disk Handler>, standard
floppies. Note: This will not format MY-IDE drives due to the MY-IDE OS rom
not being PERCOM compatable.
All these files are 100% assembler code. Written with xasm.exe
Well, I guess that is all of it. I Had fun making these mods, and if you
like it at least drop me a note. Steve
