    Hi Pengwin,

     

    this has to be done via XIO command.

     

    For each density DOS has it´s own routine.

     

    For formatting in medium density (aka enhanced) in BASIC you have to write: XIO 254, #1,0,0,"D:" (253 is for SD)

     

    Thanks for the response pps, but I am not using BASIC. I am using Kyan Pascal, which is why I was hoping someone coule point me in the direction of an assembly routine I could embed.

    Yes, I really do read Krazy Pengwin's Atari 8-bit Home...

     

    That's good, means I'm not talking to myself when I update the blog or projects :-D

     

    Of course I will post the finance package on here. Or rather, I'll put a link to my site when it's ready for distribution. Not sure when that will be though, I seem to be working in stops and starts at the moment. :sad:

    Yeah, it's not like it's unreadable. It's just a little hard for me to read. If you want to see a list of bad examples that are really hard to read, check out the right side of this page:

    Oh I've seen so many bad examples like that before. I often have to persuade clients that the colour scheme they think is really 'cool ' or 'far out' (yes, some people still use that expression) might be ok for them, but not the majority of people looking at the site.

    Just asked this over in the programming forum, but I thought I would ask here as well:

     

    I am writing a project in Kyan Pascal, but I need the program to format a disc before storing data. I cannot find a way of doing this directly from pascal, so I was hoping someone out there might have an assembly listing of a format routine I could then embed in the pascal source.

     

    I am using an 800XL with a standard 1050 drive. The DOS that I will be using for the app is DOS2.5

     

    Anyone?

    Is there anyway you could convert it to ATR?

     

    I'll try to get around to scanning the manual over the next few days.

     

    I would like to have manual,thanks.

     

    As for making an .atr ,I don't know if it can be done.

     

    You would have to ask Steve (classics)

     

    Better late than never. For those who wanted a manual for the Pro image of Cut & Paste, here it is:

    As some of you know, I intend to write games for three systems, and I know I can get Forth for each of them, so this may be the way for me to go.

     

    If this systems are the 3 in your tagline:

     

    * Atari XL -- the new volksForth release is in the making.

    * Oric Atmos -- as soon I'm able to get an Atmos on eBay for a decent price, I'll do volksForth on the Atmos. But there is also a very good Forth 83 for the Atmos available.

    * Sinclair -- I have Z80 source for volksForth (CP/M). I have no experience onthat platform, so I don't know how much work it will be to port the CP/M code to the Sinclair. I have a NC140 (Amstrad) and I'm getting a Z88 (Cambridge Computer) soon, both have Z80, and I plan to port volksForth to them. If you're interested I would help you porting volksForth to the Sinclair.

     

    Having the same Forth System (volksForth) on all that Platforms (+ MS-DOS, CP/M, Atari ST, C64, C16, Plus4, Apple I, Apple II) you can do real cross-platform programming.

    volksForth on the Atmos would be great!

     

    I'm using White Lightning on the spectrum as it has the IDEAL subsystem for graphics manipulation, although it's main Forth engine seems to be compatible with fig-Forth.

     

    Atmos's on ebay usually go for about £20-£30 at the moment. Maybe a little cheaper if you don't care about packaging. I got my latest one for about £10, but it seems to have developed a fault with the modulator and also the tape IO. :(

    I am having trouble getting in to the chatroom and registering as well :? :?

     

    Pengwin I used the contact link on your site so please email me, thanks

     

    Sorry about that Lynx. An enhancement I had made managed to dislodge the registration process. I have fixed it now.

     

    And, sorry for not getting back to you before, I was trying to get my son to sleep, and he DID NOT want to go to sleep.
