Arkos Disk Writter V1.0
-----------------------
By Targhan/Arkos


DISK (on the DSK) and ReadSectors.asm (outside)
-----------------
With the DISK program, you will be able to use  a  210kb  format
(10 sectors per track, size 2 sectors, 42 tracks) and stores files on the disk.
Then, ReadSectors.asm will allow you to read them quickly, without the Amsdos.

Since we don't use Amsdos anymore, the location and size of all the files must be written down
(in a source file, etc.).
DISK allows you copy an AMSDOS file (up to 64kb) to  the  desired  track
and sector of the destination disc. When the process is done, DISK will tell you
how many sectors are used by the file, and what is the ending track/sector. WRITE
THEM DOWN!! This is important for you to know where starts and stops each
file!

Using the 210kb is easy. You have 42 tracks (0-41), each one is composed  of  10
sectors called &C1-&CA.
When you want to load a file you've just saved, use the ReadSectors.asm source file, to
be assembled with MAXAM, Winape or Rasm. All the functions are explained in the  source.
Simply give the beginning track/sector, how  many  sectors  to  read,  where  to
load them in memory, and the code will load them for you! Then  with  a  simple
CALL, you can run your prod.





If you use these codes and tools, please write it somewhere in your production!
