I have an IBM Pascal System for the PC
Does anyone know if it's possible to use a hard drive with this system?
There are no references and no seeming commands for manipulating
storage....
Ideas??
UCSD pascal? I never used the IBM version but the S-100 version had a way
to add device drivers for hard drives ( I recall doing that to add in hard
drive support for UCSD on DYNABYTE S-100 boxes). Vague on this, but the
drivers were very low level, block read/write like in CP/M. If the IBM
version allows for it, you should be able to do a small driver that just
makes ROM BIOS calls for the hard drive.
