?????????????????????????????
You Must Be using a COCO 3 &
RS DOS 1.1 to use FDOS.
If you Don't know which Dos
(Disk Operating System)
You are using,Type This Command
after you do a cold start.
Type 'POKE &HFF90,&HCC:POKE
&HFFDE,1:EXEC &HC002'
And it will tell you which one
you are using.

?????????????????????????????

 Hello,
   I hope your enjoy this dos,
 I will try to explain what
 I've done.

 First I will tell you the
 Bugs I Fixed:

You can now PCLEAR 0-17

The COPY Command will no
longer jam up when you get an
error.

I fixed the 'head banging'
problem.

You now have true upper & lower
case in the 32 column screen.
And you can type your commands
in ether upper or lower case
now!
 example:  dir 1 or DIR 1

The DIR command has been
modified to give the file size
in bytes.
 example: game1  bas 0 b 1 661
          driver bin 2 b 2 3466

Step rate is 6 ms.

Set up for double or single
sided drives. User selectable.

The list bug has been fixed. It
used to hang up when you listed
a program that had some
characters/commands it didn't
understand.

The 40/80 character screen
PRINT TABS has been fixed.





You can use PRINT@ on the
40/80 character screen now
insted of locate if you want.

A bug in the PALETTE RGB &
CMP has been fixed.

I have Reversed the color set.

You can POKE & do disk i/o at
the DOUBLE Speed(2 MHZ) by
typing the command 'DOSF'

Hscreen will no longer cls the
screen when you use it.

Prevented Hi-res Curser from
being left on the screen after
a print or a locate.

HPRINT will now overwrite
whatever was below it so you
won't have to constantly clear
a space to print something.

Run FCONFIG to config a version
to suit you needs.

* Fdos can be put on an Eprom!
 I will try to tell you about
 how to do this later.
****************************

        follows:

DosD=DOUBLE Sided Drives

DosS=SINGLE Sided Drives

DosC=COLD START COCO 3

Dos@=COLD START COCO 2 Mode

DosR=RENEW

DosF=DOUBLE SPEED POKE
(Pokes in the 2 MHZ speed &
Changes DISK I/O to work at
the 2 MHZ speed!)

DosN=NORMAL SPEED POKE
(Returns to 1 MHZ speed &
returns DISK I/O to Normal
Operation!)

DosA=AUTO-LINE NUMBERING

DosM=B/W MONITOR ON/OFF

TYPE 'DOS' by itself to
boot up os-9,etc.

Desriptions of commands:

Type 'DosD' if your using

Type 'DosC' to do a cold start.

Disk I/O.

double cpu speed.

Type 'DosR' to get back a
program you erased out of
memory with the new command.

Type 'DosA' to use the
auto line numbering.
 EXAMPLE:  DosA 10,10
           DosA 100
           DosA line# , incr.
To exit out of auto,press the
BREAK/ESC key.

If your using auto and a '?'
pops up after the line #,
that means theres allready a
line # in the program thats
using that number.press BREAK
if you don't want to erase over
that line.

Type SCREEN 0,1

*****************************
EPROM INFO:

  If your planing to make an
  Epromable version,
  do the following:

   RUN "FCONFIG"
   And Answer 'YES' When it
   Asks you if you want an
   EPROMABLE VERSION OF FDOS.

  And it will save a epromable
  version on the disk,Under
  The name of 'FEPROM.BIN'

  The Start address is &H04000
  The End address is...&H05FFF
  The First two Bytes of the
  program Should be &H44,&H4B

  Don't Try to EXEC the
  Epromable version on disk,its
  ment to be put on a EPROM.

I don't have an EPROM programer
. So i can't be that much help
on telling you how to do it
other that giveing you the
start and end address.
