I know Diversi-DOS is capable of making 64K DOS boot disks, but I don't
really want to use Diversi-DOS.
Does anyone know if it's possible to make a 64K DOS boot disk with a
normal DOS? (Actually, STOS, the one I use on the DOS 3.3 versions of
Apple Crunch.) I have a crunched program that hangs under 48K DOS and
ProDOS+BASIC.SYSTEM but works fine with ProDOS+PDOS.SYSTEM, RDOS and 64K
DOS.
If you by "a normal DOS" mean an unmodified standard version of DOS 3.3
(or 3.2 or 3.1): No, that's not possible. DOS would have to run in the
Language Card (or some other equivalent RAM card), and that would require
some code for bank switching when needed. And a normal DOS does not have
this bank switching code. Therefore, modifications to the standard DOS
3.3 will be needed if you want to put it in the Language Card.
