[Coco] Drivewire modules

[Bill Pierce]

Bill in Nitros9, the "X0" is just a descriptor with a few values telling the rbdw driver what size, how many sides, the name and number of the drive etc. You can view it's contents by using "dmode"
On the standard nitros9_dw disks, "/x0" is replaced in the boot by "/dd" which is just "/x0" renamed to "/dd"

For using dmode on an "in memory" module, use:
dmode /x0
For a module on disk:
dmode -x0

For a help file on dmode, type "dmode" alone and also type "dmode -?" (the help is different for each method).
Dmode only works on rbf devices (drive descriptors).

This is probably going to sound like a stupid question, but how do I look at
the
contents of nitros9/6809l2/modules/rbf/x0.dd

 

I know I cannot list it, and I
can't make heads or tails out of it when I do
a 'DED X0.DD'. Not being a
programmer is definitely a hindrance right now.

 

Thanks
