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
