Hey I just got a Commodore and a 1541 floppy drive
I know
load "$",8
loads a catalog of what's on the disk and
load "name",8
will load something from the floppy
and I assume
save "name",8
will save it
But how do I format the disk and prepare it for use?
Thanks for your help...
Ron.

New subject: TI Modulators
A while back I bought some modulators for TI 99/4A from someone on this list.
I have a need for some more. Does anybody have any they would like to sell?
I can use multiples.

To format a disk, type
PRINT#15, "NEW:name,id"
"name" will become the name of the disk, and will show when the
directory is listed
"id" is a two character id that can be anything. It is written to the
directory and on every block. This way, if the disks are changed, the
computer will realize it. It's a good idea to put different id's on
each disk.

New subject: Comodore 1541 memory map?
Years ago, I used to have a memory map of the 1541's 6502 address space.
It had lots of cool internals and ROM entry points.
It was on a barely legible, photocopied sheet in tiny type and I believe
my copy has been lost to the ages. Has anyone seen this on the web?

On the Web, not yet, but someone is converting Inside Commodore DOS to
e-text and that should help considerably. Best reference work on Commodore
1541 DOS I've ever run across, IMHO.
