[Coco] CoCo SDC and others

[Ron Klein]

Hi Kip,

It seems to work very well.  I wanted a way to easily populate an SD card
with DSK images for use with the CoCo3FPGA using YA-DOS and the partition
scheme Brett uses.  I wrote a BASIC program that reads a text file of DSK
images on the Drivewire host PC, mounts each one and copies them to DECB
partitions (supporting up to 255 floppy slots each) on the SD card.  The
nice thing is YA-DOS supports the use of the BACKUP command without wiping
the BASIC program from memory.


If I can make some time to clean the SD card up a bit, I can make an image
of it to share.  It basically takes the various ULTIMATE SD compilations
that are out there and duplicates it for use with YA-DOS.

-Ron
