COS compatible RX01 floppy handlers for OS/8


    These files allo non-system handlers are on your OS/8
                        !system.

    To build a systemw an OS/8 user more efficient  usage  of  the  space
available on an RX01 floppy disk. The two  floppy, first boot your conventional  OS/8  system
in drive 1. Then:

.RUN SYS BUILD
$LOAD files, RXBNS.PA  and  RXBSY.PA
are the non-system and system handlers,  respectively.  They  arRXBSY1            !Load the system handler (RX01 Version)
$REPLACE SYS=BYTE,SYS   !Change the se  fully
compatible with the OS/8 operating system. The  system  handler  is  two
pages long aystem handler
$INSERT BYTE,RXB0-1     !Install the co-resident drive 0 and 1 handlers.
$BOOT  nd follows the conventions for two page handlers that allows
BASIC and FORTRAN to work properly                 !Boot the new OS/8 system.
WRITE ZERO DIRECT?YES
SYS BUILT
.SAVE SYS BUILD  . They allow the OS/8 diskette to hold
658 blocks as opposed to only 494 with the OS/8 handler.       !Save the new build.
.RUN RXA1 FOTP          !Copy files to the new drive
*SYS:<RXA1:BU

    The system handler can not be  booted  with  the  conventional  RX01
bootstrap program.ILD.SV/V   !Except BUILD.
*^C
.R RXFIX                !Fix the boot.
Setting up bootstrap

 To correct this, a program called RXFIX is  included.
This program is run after BUILD to modif    Before running BUILD on the new system device, run RXFIX  to  repair
block zero:

.R RXFIy the system head (block  0)  to
allow bootstrap with the conventional program. It is very impoX
Restoring OS/8 or OS/78 monitor
.RUN SYS BUILD
    .
    .                   !BUILD Commanrtant that
this program be run again to restore block 0 before BUILD  is  run  from
the systemds
    .
$BOOT
SYS BUILT
.SAVE SYS BUILD
.R RXFIX                !Make it bootable.
Settin.

Examples on how to install the handlers:

.SET SYS NO INIT        !In case there is an ing up bootstrap







    A patch must be installed to OS/8 PIP to allow the ZERO  and itial command set up.
.RUN SYS BUILD
$LOAD RXBNS             !Load the handlers.
$INSERT RX8: SQUISH
commands to work with the new handlers.

    Since these handlers are COS compatible, they can be  used  to  copy
files to non-system handlers are on your OS/8
                        !system.
