Using the N: Tools in DOS 2

Thomas Cherryhomes edited this page Jun 26, 2020 · 5 revisions

For this test, you will need

  • Atari
  • #FujiNet
  • Working WiFi Connection
  • atari-apps.irata.online in an available host slot.

The n-handler-dos2.atr disk contains a copy of Atari DOS 2.0D with the N: handler, and a copy of the N: utilities, which will be used for this test. Because the DOS 2 DUP overwrites the N: handler, the utility functions can't be used in DUP, and the N: utilities will be used, instead.

Steps

  1. Power on #FujiNet
  2. Power on Atari
  3. Wait for CONFIG to boot.
  4. In Hosts, select atari-apps.irata.online host slot.
  5. Select Tests/ directory
  6. Select n-handler-dos2.atr, select D1:, mount as R/O
  7. Once HOSTS/DEVICES appears, press OPTION to boot. Keep holding OPTION to disable BASIC.
  8. Wait for DISK UTILITY PACKAGE to appear.
  9. USE NCD.COM to change the directory prefix to FTP://FTP.PIGWA.NET/stuff/collections/holmes cd/Holmes 2/Atari Archives/Antic Files/88/
SELECT ITEM OR RETURN FOR MENU
L
LOAD FROM WHAT FILE?
NCD.COM

ENTER PREFIX OR RETURN TO CLEAR
N:FTP://FTP.PIGWA.NET/stuff/collections/holmes cd/Holmes 2/Atari Archives/Antic Files/88/
  1. Verify that the directory has been changed for N: by running NPWD.COM
SELECT ITEM OR RETURN FOR MENU
L
LOAD FROM WHAT FILE?
NPWD.COM
FTP://ftp.pigwa.net/stuff/collections/holmes cd/Holmes 2/Atari Archives/Antic Files/88/
