Help/AQRinit

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

AQRinit

This  machine code program is  used  to
initialise   AQR  as a 256K  ram  disc,
using V1.1x or 1.2x of ADFS.

Its purpose  is  to format  the  RAM to
enable  the  ADFS   to   read  it as it
would a normal disc.

To use the program directly, set LIB to
LIBRARY and type *AQRINIT <RETURN>.

The RAM is  first  initialised and then
set up as  drive 0. The drive you  were
using is renumbered from 0 to 4 or 1 to
5 and remounted.
