A selection of native tools to convert between various disc formats.
This is a collection of source code to tools that I wrote in the early 90s. The utilities were written on +3 using a modified version of the OCP Editor Assembler.
The files were transferred from the original discs and made readable using the tools in http://github.com/suborb/zx_conversion_utils
The following modifications have been made to the source code:
- Updated to compile with z80asm from z88dk
- db, dw, ds -> defb, defw, defs
- equ -> defc
- String constants now double quoted
- MODULE directive added
- Help pages embedded into source code
- A very old address has been removed
Otherwise, the source is as written (6 character labels, < 40 characters per line)
# Missing source code
This set of tools are related - a lot of the code is shared between them. As things stand two tools are missing from the repository.
The writing counterpart of convert. I have a revision of the source code that's probably 5 versions behind the last release.
Was a screen resident program to read/write MSDOS discs on a +3 B: drive.
I have some versions of the source, but not verified that a loadable program can be made.
The source code for Slowdos 2.x which extended +3 BASIC to allow access to MSDOS discs is located here: http://github.com/suborb/slowdos
