Using the N: Tools in DOS 2

For this test, you will need

• Atari
• #FujiNet
• Working WiFi Connection
• An SD card set up with Testing local SD card storage
• atari-apps.irata.online in an available host slot.

The n-handler-dos2.atr disk contains a copy of Atari DOS 2.0D with the N: handler, and a copy of the N: utilities, which will be used for this test. Because the DOS 2 DUP overwrites the N: handler, the utility functions can't be used in DUP, and the N: utilities will be used, instead.

Steps

1. Power on #FujiNet
2. Power on Atari
3. Wait for CONFIG to boot.
4. In Hosts, select atari-apps.irata.online host slot.
5. Select Tests/ directory
6. Select n-handler-dos2.atr, select D1:, mount as R/O

12. For size? Pick [3]180K to pick a single sided/double density disk. and press RETURN.
13. Are you sure (Y/N)? press Y, hit return. Verify that the disk is in slot 2, mounted WRITE.
14. Press and hold OPTION to boot DOS without BASIC installed.
15. Once DUP is loaded, format the disk now in D2:

SELECT ITEM OR RETURN FOR MENU

WHICH DRIVE TO FORMAT?
2
TYPE "Y" TO FORMAT DISK 2

16. Change the directory of N: using NCD.COM

SELECT ITEM OR RETUN FOR MENU
L
LOAD FROM WHAT FILE?
NCD.COM

ENTER PREFIX OR RETURN TO CLEAR
FTP://FTP.PIGWA.NET/stuff/collections/holmes cd/Holmes 2/Atari Archives/Antic Files/88/

SELECT ITEM OR RETURN FOR MENU
L
LOAD FROM WHAT FILE?
NPWD.COM
FTP://ftp.pigwa.net/stuff/collections/holmes cd/Holmes 2/Atari Archives/Antic Files/88/

18. Do a directory using NDIR.COM

SELECT ITEM OR RETURN FOR MENU
L
LOAD FROM WHAT FILE?
NDIR.COM

ENTER PATH, WILDCARD OR RETURN

KEYEDUP.EXE
KILLER.EXE
PONG.EXE
REARDOOR.EXE
SPTIRE.EXE
THROTTLE.EXE
TODDLE.EXE
XEGSMGR.EXE

19. Use NCOPY to copy FROG.EXE to D2:

SELECT ITEM OR RETURN FOR MENU
L
LOAD FROM WHAT FILE?
NCOPY.COM
NET COPY--FROM, TO?

SELECT ITEM OR RETURN FOR MENU
A
DIRECTORY--SEARCH SPEC,LIST FILE?
D2:

676 FREE SECTORS

22. Attempt to load to verify it was copied correctly.

SELECT ITEM OR RETURN FOR MENU
L
LOAD FROM WHAT FILE?
D2:FROG.EXE

23. Verify that FROG runs.
24. Power off Atari, test done.
