SDCFLASH 0.10 Guillaume Major SDCFLASH is an utility to flash cartridges ROM files into any of the 8 available Coco SDC flash bank. It is compatible with all CoCos and requires 32K. SDCFLASH is based on SideKick by Luis Antoniosi. Features -------- - select ROM file to flash with a file browser - write to any of the 8 available flash banks - boot flash bank - quick file selection by the first 4 letters Command Summary --------------- SHIFT-B: boot flash bank SHIFT-S: toggle sorting SHIFT-V: toggle RGB/CMP video mode (Coco 3) SHIFT-R: rename ROM set SHIFT-H: show help ENTER: flash bank BREAK: quit Navigation keys --------------- LEFT/RIGHT : Switch between windows SHIFT-UP/DOWN : Page up/page down SHIFT-LEFT/RIGHT: Home/End [A-Z][0-9] : Select next file matching up to 4 characters typed quickly Flashing ROM files ------------------ Select a ROM set from the left window using the navigation keys and press the right arrow to access the ROM file list. Select the ROM file to flash and press ENTER. Type the bank number to flash (0-7) and press ENTER. A confirmation dialog will be displayed. Press Y to proceed, N or BREAK to cancel the operation. NOTE: The active SDC bank cannot be flashed. ROM files --------- ROM files on this disk are not loadable or executable. They are raw binary dumps of the chips inside cartridges. SDCFLASH comes with over 140 ROM files divided into 17 ROM sets. The SDCFLASH disk is an HDB-DOS image containing several RS-DOS 35 tracks disks. Each disk represent a ROM set. At startup SDCFLASH will browse all disks in the HDB-DOS image to read each disk name. The list of disks found will be displayed into the ROM sets window. ROM files must have the ROM extension to be displayed in the ROMS window. The maximum ROM file size that can be flashed into the Coco SDC is 16KB. Adding your own ROM files ------------------------- ROM set disks can be accessed with the DRIVE 0,NUM command where NUM represents the index of the disk. ROM files can then be added with standard RS-DOS commands or with a file copying utility. SDCFLASH comes with 17 disks of ROM files. To add a new disk to the set, type the following commands: - DRIVE 0,NUM where NUM is the new disk number (example: 18) - DSKINI0 Use the SHIFT-R command to rename the newly created disk. Increase the disk number to add other ROM set disks. Renaming ROM sets ----------------- Select the ROM set to rename and press SHIFT-R. Type the new name for the ROM set and press ENTER when done. To clear the ROM set name press SHIFT-LEFT. If the disk has no name DRIVE #NUM will be displayed where NUM is the number of the disk. Video mode (Coco 3) ------------------- By default SDCFLASH will use the RGB palette on a Coco 3. Press SHIFT-V to toggle betweem composite and RGB video modes. To make the composite video mode permanent, set the CO variable to 1 on line 10 in SDCFLASH.BAS. ROM sets included ----------------- 1.
