Re: Frustrated: Can't get DOS anywhere

[Alistair J Ross <mailat@alirossdotco.uk>]

Hi Tim, et Al.

  I have ADT on the PC here but the readme states that you require DOS to
  get it to work. I would probably agree with that notion as there are two
  files you have to transfer to the Apple II: 
    ADT.DMP (Hex instructions for CALL-151 monitor mode)
    ADTCFG.BAS (AppleSoft file for actual ADT program)

I have transferred (successfully) the two files above. However, the last
line in ADT.DMP reads:

BSAVE ADT,A$803,L$A14,S6,D1

To my mind, the BSAVE command is a DOS command (I dont have DOS at all
yet) so I can't perform this action. Am I right?

I have one question with regards to BSAVE -- does the S6 translate to Slot
6? If so, I reckon I should change it to S5 as my driveII card is in slot
5. Is the regular default for this drive Slot 6?

Regards,

Alistair Ross
