How to build Atari DOS 2.5 from OSS#
First, please read these two text files:
Then, please go on with these disk images:
- builddos.atr
; DOS II 2.0s disk image with all files needed to create DOS 2.5 with the below given files.
- empty.atr
; Blank DOS II 2.0s formatted disk-image to work with the above files.
- mac65101.car
; MAC/65 v1.01 cartridge to read in the above M65-files.
The above image builddos.atr needs the following source files. Here we can go on in two ways:
a) the easy one:
If you have booted with the above disk image, please insert either the dossrc_a-w.atr image or the dossrc-w.atr image in drive 2 (D2:):
- dossrc_a-w.atr
; Working source code for building the FMS (File Management System -> DOS.SYS-file) on an SD ATR-image with MAC/65-files.
- dossrc_b-w.atr
; Working source code for building the DUP.SYS-file on an SD ATR-image with MAC/65-files.
- dossrc-w.atr
; Same as the both images above, but on just a single DD ATR-image with DOS 2.0D.
Then type:
LOAD #D2:FMS.M65
ASM
You should receive the following figure:
Successful assembled source code for the creation of DOS.SYS
Then insert either the dossrc_b-w.atr image or leave the dossrc-w.atr image in drive 2 (D2:):
Then type:
LOAD #D2:DUP.M65
ASM
You should receive the following figure:
Successful assembled source code for the creation of DUP.SYS
Congratulations! You have created the object code for building DOS 2.5. :-)))
On how to go on further, please read the recipe above.
b) the hard one:
The way is the same as in example a), except, that the below given original source files:
- dossrc_a.atr
; Original source code for building the FMS (File Management System -> DOS.SYS-file) on an SD ATR-image with MAC/65-files.
- dossrc_b.atr
; Original source code for building the DUP.SYS-file on an SD ATR-image with MAC/65-files.
- dossrc.atr
; Same as the both images above, but on just a single DD ATR-image with DOS 2.0D.
have to be patched to actually work. Please read the recipe above on how to this.
