[Coco] Reading DSK directory on CoCoSDC

[Bob Devries]

Hey, Nick...

Do you remember the old trick we used to print a directory to a printer? 
I think it was:

POKE 111,254:DIR

Maybe something similar would work?

Open a file:
5 DIM L$(100)
10 OPEN "I", #1, "FLOPDIR"
20 POKE 111,1:DIR-
30 CLOSE #1
40 OPEN "O",#1,"FLOPDIR"
45 X=0
50 IF EOF(#1) THEN CLOSE #1:GOTO 111
60 LINEINPUT #1,L$(X)
65 X=X+1
70 GOTO 50


This was off the top of my head, BTW. The usual disclaimer etc...
