  • QuickDOS question

    From Marc Golombeck@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jan 6 05:27:49 2022
    I was helpfully hinted to QuickDOS loader by Antoine which works so far but there is a problem that files are only read to a maximum of two tracks (ca. 8k) into memory. The same files read fine with standard DOS 3.3

    As I have seen from the IKARI disk which uses this QuickDOS there are also larger files that are read successfully into memory so I am kind of stuck why my files won't get read?

    Maybe there are any hints / ideas what I am doing wrong?

    Thx,

    Marc

    QuickDOS expects files to have their sectors in a particular order. If your file is somehow fragmented (e.g., T04S0E, T04S0D, T05S0F) then it won't load completely.

    Is your loader routine also bound to a particular sector order?
