Dos commands
The '@' sends a command to the serial bus or reads the status. If another device than the actual one should be used, it can be specified by
'#Device' right behind the '@'. The default numeric system for Device is Dez.
The command to be send can be enclosed in apostropes, but even spaces do not require this.
Besides the normal dos commands which are understood by the floppies DreaMon knows the following special commands:
| Command | Action |
|---|---|
@ $ | shows the directory |
@ me Adress | executes code in the floppy memory |
@ br Track Sector Adress | reads a sector from disk |
@ bw Track Sector Adress | writes a sector to disk |
Except '$' the special commands are only executed without quotation marks. With quotation marks the text is just send to the floppy and no special command is executed.
 | Action-Replay owner |
|---|---|
The parameter Adress for reading and writing sectors is a complete adress and not just a high-byte like known from the action replay. The default numeric system for Adress ist Hex. This command reads track 18, sektor 1 to $c000: @br 12 1 c000 |
Before a scratch or new command is executed, you have to confirm the operation.
Examples:
| @i | initialise the actual device |
| @$ | show the actual drives directory |
| @#10i | set the actual device to 10 and initialise it |
| @ #10 i | ...the same for space lovers |
| @#9 | set the actual drive to 9 and show its status |
| @#10$ | set the actual device to 10 and show the directory |
