StarInfo/Boura/Manuals/FindDrives
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.

==========
Filing sytems supported are NetFS (untested), NetPrint (untested), RamFS,
CDFS, SCSIFS and ResourceFS.
Code has been included for NetFS and NetPrint but I don't have Econet so it
has not been tested.
Command line options
====================
Command line options are case sensitive.
-fs is followed by a space separated list of filing system specifiers that
will be merged with the ones built into the program ie 5 8 23 26 37 46.a
A filing system specifier has the syntax <file system number>[.<options>]
The filing system number is defined by Acorn, PRM 2-19.
This is followed optionally by a fullstop '.' and a sequence of hex digits
or letters specifying what is to be displayed.
For ADFS, RAMFS, SCSIFS and CDFS the following are currently specified;
--------------------------------
The first character is for drive 0, the second for drive 1 etc. The default
is 3 unless otherwise specified (see -default). The sequence does not have
to be complete for all drives, in which case the default will be used for
any remaining drives.
1 Include the filing system name, eg "ADFS"
2 Include the media name if available, eg "HardDisc4" instead of the drive
number
4 Don't offer access except through CFS
8 Also offer CFS access, but ignored if drive empty
Add these numbers together to give combinations.
eg Options 1 and 4 together is 5. Upper case hex only please
* Use the default for this drive.
A drive that does not exist will not be included so use "*" as a place
holder. This will cause the default to be used if a drive is later added to
the system. If no name is available then an option of 3 will be used.
eg 8.01007 means;
8 Filing system number 8 ie ADFS
. Start of options
0 Ignore drive 0 even if it exists
1 Show filing system name and drive number
* Use the default for drive 2 if it exists
0 Ignore drive 3
3 Show the filing system name and substitute the media name for the
drive number if it is available.
Any further drives, ie drives 5,6 and 7 in this example, will use the
default option (usually 3).
For ResourceFS the following are currently specified;
--------------
$ Include the root
a Include Applications
f Include Fonts (only the fonts in the ROM)
r Include Resources
-default<number>
This specifies the default drive options. The default default is 3.
-noList
Do not use the default list of filing systems at all. 00000000 46 69 6e 64 44 72 69 76 65 73 0a 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d |FindDrives.=====| 00000010 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 0a 0a 46 69 6c 69 6e 67 20 73 79 |=====..Filing sy| 00000020 74 65 6d 73 20 73 75 70 70 6f 72 74 65 64 20 61 |tems supported a| 00000030 72 65 20 4e 65 74 46 53 20 28 75 6e 74 65 73 74 |re NetFS (untest| 00000040 65 64 29 2c 20 4e 65 74 50 72 69 6e 74 20 28 75 |ed), NetPrint (u| 00000050 6e 74 65 73 74 65 64 29 2c 20 52 61 6d 46 53 2c |ntested), RamFS,| 00000060 0a 43 44 46 53 2c 20 53 43 53 49 46 53 20 61 6e |.CDFS, SCSIFS an| 00000070 64 20 52 65 73 6f 75 72 63 65 46 53 2e 0a 0a 43 |d ResourceFS...C| 00000080 6f 64 65 20 68 61 73 20 62 65 65 6e 20 69 6e 63 |ode has been inc| 00000090 6c 75 64 65 64 20 66 6f 72 20 4e 65 74 46 53 20 |luded for NetFS | 000000a0 61 6e 64 20 4e 65 74 50 72 69 6e 74 20 62 75 74 |and NetPrint but| 000000b0 20 49 20 64 6f 6e 27 74 20 68 61 76 65 20 45 63 | I don't have Ec| 000000c0 6f 6e 65 74 20 73 6f 20 69 74 0a 68 61 73 20 6e |onet so it.has n| 000000d0 6f 74 20 62 65 65 6e 20 74 65 73 74 65 64 2e 0a |ot been tested..| 000000e0 0a 0a 43 6f 6d 6d 61 6e 64 20 6c 69 6e 65 20 6f |..Command line o| 000000f0 70 74 69 6f 6e 73 0a 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d |ptions.=========| 00000100 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 0a 0a 43 6f 6d |===========..Com| 00000110 6d 61 6e 64 20 6c 69 6e 65 20 6f 70 74 69 6f 6e |mand line option| 00000120 73 20 61 72 65 20 63 61 73 65 20 73 65 6e 73 69 |s are case sensi| 00000130 74 69 76 65 2e 0a 0a 2d 66 73 20 69 73 20 66 6f |tive...-fs is fo| 00000140 6c 6c 6f 77 65 64 20 62 79 20 61 20 73 70 61 63 |llowed by a spac| 00000150 65 20 73 65 70 61 72 61 74 65 64 20 6c 69 73 74 |e separated list| 00000160 20 6f 66 20 66 69 6c 69 6e 67 20 73 79 73 74 65 | of filing syste| 00000170 6d 20 73 70 65 63 69 66 69 65 72 73 20 74 68 61 |m specifiers tha| 00000180 74 0a 77 69 6c 6c 20 62 65 20 6d 65 72 67 65 64 |t.will be merged| 00000190 20 77 69 74 68 20 74 68 65 20 6f 6e 65 73 20 62 | with the ones b| 000001a0 75 69 6c 74 20 69 6e 74 6f 20 74 68 65 20 70 72 |uilt into the pr| 000001b0 6f 67 72 61 6d 20 69 65 20 35 20 38 20 32 33 20 |ogram ie 5 8 23 | 000001c0 32 36 20 33 37 20 34 36 2e 61 0a 0a 41 20 66 69 |26 37 46.a..A fi| 000001d0 6c 69 6e 67 20 73 79 73 74 65 6d 20 73 70 65 63 |ling system spec| 000001e0 69 66 69 65 72 20 68 61 73 20 74 68 65 20 73 79 |ifier has the sy| 000001f0 6e 74 61 78 20 3c 66 69 6c 65 20 73 79 73 74 65 |ntax <file syste| 00000200 6d 20 6e 75 6d 62 65 72 3e 5b 2e 3c 6f 70 74 69 |m number>[.<opti| 00000210 6f 6e 73 3e 5d 0a 0a 54 68 65 20 66 69 6c 69 6e |ons>]..The filin| 00000220 67 20 73 79 73 74 65 6d 20 6e 75 6d 62 65 72 20 |g system number | 00000230 69 73 20 64 65 66 69 6e 65 64 20 62 79 20 41 63 |is defined by Ac| 00000240 6f 72 6e 2c 20 50 52 4d 20 32 2d 31 39 2e 0a 0a |orn, PRM 2-19...| 00000250 54 68 69 73 20 69 73 20 66 6f 6c 6c 6f 77 65 64 |This is followed| 00000260 20 6f 70 74 69 6f 6e 61 6c 6c 79 20 62 79 20 61 | optionally by a| 00000270 20 66 75 6c 6c 73 74 6f 70 20 27 2e 27 20 61 6e | fullstop '.' an| 00000280 64 20 61 20 73 65 71 75 65 6e 63 65 20 6f 66 20 |d a sequence of | 00000290 68 65 78 20 64 69 67 69 74 73 0a 6f 72 20 6c 65 |hex digits.or le| 000002a0 74 74 65 72 73 20 73 70 65 63 69 66 79 69 6e 67 |tters specifying| 000002b0 20 77 68 61 74 20 69 73 20 74 6f 20 62 65 20 64 | what is to be d| 000002c0 69 73 70 6c 61 79 65 64 2e 0a 0a 46 6f 72 20 41 |isplayed...For A| 000002d0 44 46 53 2c 20 52 41 4d 46 53 2c 20 53 43 53 49 |DFS, RAMFS, SCSI| 000002e0 46 53 20 61 6e 64 20 43 44 46 53 20 74 68 65 20 |FS and CDFS the | 000002f0 66 6f 6c 6c 6f 77 69 6e 67 20 61 72 65 20 63 75 |following are cu| 00000300 72 72 65 6e 74 6c 79 20 73 70 65 63 69 66 69 65 |rrently specifie| 00000310 64 3b 0a 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d |d;.-------------| 00000320 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d |----------------| 00000330 2d 2d 2d 0a 54 68 65 20 66 69 72 73 74 20 63 68 |---.The first ch| 00000340 61 72 61 63 74 65 72 20 69 73 20 66 6f 72 20 64 |aracter is for d| 00000350 72 69 76 65 20 30 2c 20 74 68 65 20 73 65 63 6f |rive 0, the seco| 00000360 6e 64 20 66 6f 72 20 64 72 69 76 65 20 31 20 65 |nd for drive 1 e| 00000370 74 63 2e 20 20 54 68 65 20 64 65 66 61 75 6c 74 |tc.
