The DISK.DRIVER file is quite interesting as it is assembler source code and if compiled would have a file header (the first few lines define the header) But 68K/OS (or ADAM) does load it and make the "DISK:" device available, which would suggest ADAM can compile assembler on the fly? When...

Attached is a zip of the files on the 68K/ASM (2 are zero bytes, but they are the same on the original master and I don't think they are important) I got excited because it includes a "DISK:" device driver, which I can load on the real 68K/OS, giving me the DISK: device but obviously I can...

Ok, this is the ROM bin file which can be added as the "Back" ROM in Q-emuLator I've only tested this in Q-emuLator for Mac so far (EDIT: also works in Windows Q-emuLator) It contains 14 of the 17 files (excludes COLOUR, DRAW & SLIDES) Also attached is a description of the ROM layout f...

Ok, so attached is a new ZIP containing the 17 files that are on the 68K/OS Cart. Maybe this can be added to Dilwyns download page archive for 68K/OS? These are all tested (other than COLOUR, DRAW & SLIDES, but they should be ok), as far as it's possible to test from ROM, in Q-emuLator So, as fa...

Have managed to serial transfer the "errmsg.proc" to my laptop (and add to ROM disk image) and instead of hanging Q-emuLator it now gives proper error descriptions as it should, which suggests the transfer was good :D Later today I'll try and transfer all the other programs on the 68K/OS m...
