Disk ReadIWrite Utility
Lets you read or write
to
a specified block of memory. The command
line is:
disk drive,cylinder,starting sector,operation,address,number
of
sectors
address
is the starting address
in
memory where the information read
from the disk is to
be
placed, or where information written to the disk
is to
be
taken from.
Specify operation
as:
R for Read, W for Write, or * for a Directory
Write.
If you do not specify
cylinder, the system uses the directory track. If
you do not specify
starting sector, the system starts with sector
0.
If
you do not specify
number
of
sectors, the system reads the whole
cylinder.
If an error occurs during a disk function, the error number appears
on
the screen surrounded by asterisks. Hold down the
(ENTER)
key to
abort the disk function.
Example:
2,0,0
,R
,6000

reads into memory (beginning at address X'6000') sectors 0 and 1 of
cylinder
0 from the disk
in
Drive
2.
This block of memory is displayed
on
the monitor
in
the full screen mode.
