[Coco] sdc card

[Michael Kline]

Hi Phil,

When I bought my SDC from Ed last year, I made the setup really easy for 
myself. My first recommendation, is to go to the Color Computer Archive, 
and download, then unzip the SDC Image onto your SD card. 
https://colorcomputerarchive.com/repo/Disks/Coco%20SDC/Image/

This will dump most of the archive files onto your SD card.

Look to see that SDCEXP.DSK (this is the SDC Explorer programme) is in 
your root directory of your SD card.
There should be a STARTUP.CFG (in the root directory of your SD card) 
file there too. If not, it's a simple text file. In the manual, it tells 
you what commands work there. I personally prefer that when my system 
boots, that it loads the SDCEXP disk into drive 1. So in the STARTUP.CFG 
file, you would have "1=/SDCEXP.DSK" if you want the Explorer loaded 
automatically into Drive 1. Else you can use "0=/SDCEXP.DSK" to have it 
load into Drive 0.

Since I am also using DriveWire... I edited the AUTOEXEC.BAS file, found 
on SDCEXP.DSK. I added Drive commands to setup Drive 2 into Slot #2, 
Drive 3 into Slot #3 for the DriveWire 4 programme. Then when I use 
DriveWire on my PC, I load disks into Slots 2 and/or 3.

My AUTOEXEC.BAS looks like:
10 DRIVE PEEK(235):DRIVE2,#2:DRIVE3,#3:RUN"SDCX"

Typing DRIVE, shows me this:
0:    ON            -----           0
1:    ON    SDCEXP.DSK    0
2:    ON         DW #2        0
3:    ON         DW #3        0

I hope this helps to get you going.

Michael
