MANUAL FOR SLIMDFS (6502 Machine code) This file describes the program SLIMDFS which shuffles DFS workspace around so that PAGE is automatically moved to &1300.The usual DFS functionality is preserved. The manual and software is (C)1997 SPROW INSTRUCTIONS- At any command line prompt,eg.the BASIC command prompt '>' type *SLIMDFS It will appear as though nothing has happened,but infact PAGE has been moved and workspace moved. You'll need to restart BASIC (using *BASIC) as it only checks its copy of PAGE against the OS's when restarted.Use PRINT ~PAGE to check that the patch has been activated. Then carry on as usual,using all the normal DFS commands and features,there should be no noticeable difference. Pages &900 and &A00 (the cassette/RS423 buffers) are used to hold some of the DFS's worksapce,so these two systems should NOT be used. Also,the program assumes that you have a set of ROMs in your machine such that PAGE would normally be &1900 on power up.No other value is acceptable. It will also only work with DFS 1.20 from Acorn,which is tested for,and that your DFS chip is in the lowest priority socket (as it SHOULD be anyway). Only one random access file may now be opened at once,this is also checked for. EXIT MESSAGES- "No DFS rom" - it is customised for Acorn DFS only,which couldn't be found "Too many open" - only 1 file may be opened for access under SlimDFS KNOWN PROBLEMS/FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS- No known problems Repointing of the 'reset' vector,to allow the pressing of BREAK,as for example may be performed when pressing BREAK-SHIFT to boot a disk. HISTORY- V1.00 First release version,to 8 Bit software disk user group.
