I have been trying to follow the list's guidance about using YA-DOS to
access the large VHD that Ron Klein created, but I'm having problems.
* I have a CoCo3 (6309 and Boomerang 2mb), Modified MPI and CoCo SDC
(running ver 1.6)
* The MPI is in physical slot #1
* YA-DOS 0.5a ROM is in SDC bank 2
* When booting YA-DOS (RUN @2) and holding down the left shift key,
the Banner says: YA-DOS 0.5A PICARD
I have created SYSCONFG. BAS in SDCX,DSK (which in is the root
directory of my SDC card)
* 10 'SYSCONFG.BAS
* 20 'YA-DOS 0.5A
* 30 DRIVE I 0,3,0
* 40 DRIVE M 0,0
I have placed Ron's DECBVHD.DSK in the root dirctory of my SDC card
My startup.cfg file contains the following
* 0=sdcx.dsk
When my system does a cold boot SXDC Explorer version 1.00 starts
automatically and displays the contents of the SDC card's root
directory
When I exit SDC Explorer and (at the prompt) enter RUN @2 I get the
message: "?AE ERROR IN 30" (which is the DRIVE I command in
SYSCONFG.BAS)
What I would like to be able to do is to exit SDC explorer (the
default) and then be easily able to start YA-DOS (via the RUN @2
command) and then access the vitrual disks on Ron's dsk image
What steps am I missing?
