DiskOS hardware - Interface board, dual CF to IDE adapter, two CF modules
This Disk Operating System uses the AVR SPI to IDE interface to provide file storage and retrieval for the SBC-3. The interface supports ATA hard drives and compact flash modules. The interface also supports FAT16 file structure, allowing you to move a CF card from the SBC-3 to a PC and share files.
This DiskOS was created to replace the original System Monitor in the SBC-3. Along with the disk operations, there are commands to read and modify memory, disassemble programs in memory, perform XMODEM file transfers, and set and read the Real-time clock on the interface. If the file named "AUTOEXEC.SYS" exists in the root directory, it will be loaded on boot-up. The first three bytes should contain a JMP instruction, followed by the text "SYS". If this is true, the file will be executed. If either test fails, then the DiskOS Command Prompt will be displayed.
The object and source files are available here -> DiskOS, along with some sample files, including EHBASIC, the USFLAG animation, a demo basic program file, and an Autoexec.sys sample.
The DiskOS Command Set includes:
