Hi all, I got my Intel MDS225 working today, but I only have
a single double density drive on it. I seem to recall that it
would read single density, but you accessed by a different drive
specifier. I can't seem to find one bit of documentation on the
ISIS command at home. Does anyone have a summary page they could
scan and send?
I am also looking for the 50 pin connection wiring so I can connect
a drive externally.
It was fun booting up ISIS-II version 4.2 and seeing the prompt
come up. I also had a CP/M 2.2 version that booted perfectly!
best regards, Steve Thatcher
Hi
I thought I'd add a list of commands from the users
manual for the archives:
IDISK <device> <label> [S]
S = System
FORMAT <device> <label> [<switch>]
switch: A = Copy all files from :F0:
S = Copy only files with system attribute
DEBUG [<progname> [ <parameters> ]]
SUBMIT
<name>[.<extension>][(<parameter0>,<parameter1>...<parameter9>)]
paramters are %0 to %9 in script
DIR [FOR <file>][TO <listfile>][<switch>]
switch: 0 - 5 = :F0: to :F5:
I = List all files including invisible attrib
F = Fast listing
P = Single drive to DIR second disk
COPY <oldfile1>[,<oldfile2>,<oldfile3>...] TO
<newfile>[<switch>]
switch: U = update but don't change attrib and don't print
"ALREADY EXITS"
S = System files only when wild card used.
N = Non-system files only when wild card used.
P = pause for single drive with two floppies
Q = Query
C = Copy attribs
B = Replace, regardless
DELETE <file1>[Q}[,<file2>[Q],<file3>[Q]...][P]
Q = query confirm
P = pause to change disk
ATTRIB <file> <Attriblist> [Q]
Attrib: I0 = Reset invisible
I1 = Set invisible
W0 = Reset Write protect
W1 = Set Write protect
F0 = Reset Format attrb \
F1 = Set Format attrb \ Don't mess with this
S0 = Reset Syst attrib
S1 = Set Syst attrib
BINOBJ <binfile> TO <absfile>
HEXOBJ <hexfile> TO <absfile>[ START(addr)]
OBJHEX <absfile> TO <hexfile>
EDIT Tico like commands
B$$ = begin of text
Z$$ = end of text
[n]L$$ = n lines
[n]C$$ = n characters
Ftext$$ = find "text"
Itext$$ = insert "text"
Soldtext$[newtext]$$ = find "oldtext" and replace with "newtext
[n]D$$ = delete n characters
[n]K$$ = delete n lines
[n]T$$ = Type n lines 0TT$$ entire line with cursor in line
E$$ = Exit
Q$$ = quit
[n]W$$ = write n lines
A$$ = Append
M$$ = decimal space available
n<commandstring>$$ = Does commandstring n times
Hope this helps future ISIS-II users.
