[Coco] CocoSD archive question

[Ian Baronofsky]

I run that program but it has an error, probably because I'm not using
SDC-DOS. Sorry to get back to basics, but how do I get SDC-DOS running?

If my understanding is correct, the CocoSDC has space to flash at least 8
cartridge images (128K divided into 16K chunks?) into it although images 0
and 1 are taken up by two system cart images. Which flash image number will
I want to put a typical cart image into (for a game I'd want to play), and
how will I execute that cart image?


I'm actually trying to put together a basic webpage to explain how to do
this, just in case other noobs need basic instructions for the CocoSDC.
It's located at:

https://sites.google.com/site/cocosdquick/

Any corrections to the page are appreciated. The cartridge flashing part is
a work in process as I try to glean all the information I need to figure it
out.

Thanks!

Download the sdcutils.dsk image... it contains a small BASIC proggy to
flash the ROM in the SDC.  The program require Darren's SDC-DOS.

cheers
