Just add ",D2" or ",D1" after the command.  If you have more than one
disk controller card, you can also specify the slot.

e.g.

CATALOG,S4,D1

(get a catalog of the disk in slot 4, drive 1)

When you use the "S" and "D" parameters, DOS will remember which drive
you last accessed, and will use that one for all subsequent commands,
until you use the "S" or "D" parameter again.

e.g.

[Boot disk]
CATALOG                (drive 1)
CATALOG,D2             (drive 2)
LOAD TESTFILE          (drive 2)
CATALOG                (drive 2)
RUN PROGRAM,D1         (drive 1)

CALL -151

This places you in the "monitor" program, with an "*" prompt.  It isn't
"assembly language" - it happens to include a disassembler (and a
mini-assembler, if you have a new enough machine or are using Integer
BASIC).

To get back to BASIC, use:

3D0G

(That's "three dee zero gee", not "three dee oh gee".)
