[Coco] just got my CoCo SDC - A beginners guide?

[David Ladd]

Alexander,

To get a directory from SDC-DOS you need to do a:
DIR -
or you can do:
DIR "directory/"
or even subdirectories of directories:
DIR "directory/subdirectory/"

Here is the main blog site for the CoCoSDC:
http://cocosdc.blogspot.com/

Which has some more information as well.

Otherwise if you do:
DIR
DIR 0
DIR 1
DIR 2
DIR 3
Without images being mounted AND/OR drivewire active you will get a IO
error.  Just like on a real FDC and floppy drive without a disk in the
drive.
