[Coco] Bike Shedding new SDC OS-9 Commands

[tonym]

Might this be something that should be added to existing commands as additional feature/function?
Or too much complication in that?

Just thinking out loud...

Darren said he had one person offer to make OS-9 commands, but it
would have to wait after a project. So I decided to offer up my
services as well.

What should they be named? How should they work?

I propose:

sdir

A command with no parameters that prints out a list of disk images
available on the SDC.

sdrive n name

A command with two parameters:

n - 0 or 1 - the drive number to attach a new disk image

name - The 8.3 file name to attach.

sformat [SDF] tracks sides

Optional SDF parameter to invoke creating an SDF image, otherwise a
normal disk image is created.
tracks - the number of tracks
sides - the number of sides

[I guess it'll have to do a logical format as well]

seject 0/1

Eject a disk image from slot 0 or 1

sconfig

No parameters. Prints out the current images attached to the slots.
