This is the first in a series of files I intend to finish up on my spare
|
|||
|
|
time that I hope will be around with us for a long time no matter what what
|
|||
|
|
happens in the future. Hope they come into use some day.

--> DOS 3.3
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The assignment of seventeen volumes each having 560 sectors or 143k. The
|
|||
|
|
complete DOS 3.3 partition holds 2437k. Volume assignments should, and
|
|||
|
|
always will be posted on volume one of the 3.3 partition for ae/catfur users
|
|||
|
|
as a reference. Maintaining the 3.3 partition is next to impossible for
|
|||
|
|
anyone in remote mode unless a special module is created for sysops where in
|
|||
|
|
they can delete any file on any volume, this possibility has not yet been
|
|||
|
|
implimented as of 03-JAN-86.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
--> ProDOS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The assignment of two volumes maximum led me to partition one main volume
|
|||
|
|
to hold 90% of the bulletins, and 100% of all textfiles. The other partition
|
|||
|
|
would hold the system files/modules/mail/news, and 10% boards. Setup and
|
|||
|
|
where to locate what on the ProDOS volumes is difficult due to the tree
|
|||
|
|
structure, this will be opened up further in this file.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Volume one is named "/HARD1", likewise volume two is "/HARD2". /HARD1
|
|||
|
|
has a maximum capacity of 3888 blocks (7776 sectors or 1990k), while
|
|||
|
|
/HARD2 over powers this with a whopping 9776 blocks (19552 sectors or
|
|||
|
|
5005k). Both partitions together in maximum storage capacity hold
|
|||
|
|
13664 blocks (27328 sectors or 6995k). In terms of megabytes --
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
DOS 3.3 2.437 megabytes
|
|||
|
|
ProDOS /HARD1 1.990 megabytes
|
|||
|
|
ProDOS /HARD2 5.005 megabytes
|
|||
|
|
Total (ProDOS) 6.995 megabytes
|
|||
|
|
Total (Alltogether) 9.432 megabytes
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
--> CP/M and Pascal
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The two partitions holding these OS's have been made as small as possible,
|
|||
|
|
they maintain 90% of what is left of the hard disk, the rest is lost to
|
|||
|
|
hard disk files. Parameter blocks, and so on.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
--> ProDOS setup
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As mentioned before, there are two volumes in the ProDOS partition, one
|
|||
|
|
for system files/mail/news/boards 1-5+21, and /HARD2 which is larger than
|
|||
|
|
the first for the sole reason that it holds everything else. Boards 6-20,
|
|||
|
|
and textfiles (5 megabytes). Mastering the structure of the entire system
|
|||
|
|
needs a hands on experience, but through these files I hope to aid any sysops
|
|||
|
|
of present and future into understanding where everything is kept, and where
|
|||
|
|
it should be kept. Many hours of time has gone into making the system as
|
|||
|
|
easy to use as possible, with I/O-net being very modular, I have created many
|
|||
|
|
modules for xfer, textfiles, other functions and so on.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

Future features such as filter systems for the illegal activities of the
|
|||
|
|
system, data files, should be found on /HARD2 on the main directory under
|
|||
|
|
some file name.

|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
--> Setup
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Setup of Milliways takes exactly 22.35 seconds from warm start to awaiting
|
|||
|
|
carrier. The process from partition to partition is quick, and is setup
|
|||
|
|
like this--
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Parameter block (3.3)-->RUN MAIN MENU
|
|||
|
|
Boot ProDOS-->RUN STARTUP-->Setup modem-->Setup drivers-->RUN IO.1
|
|||
|
|
Read SETUP-->Read US.NUM-->Await ring
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The following files should under no circumstances be tampered with though a
|
|||
|
|
remote logon.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Under Dos 3.3 "MAIN MENU", and "PRODOS"
|
|||
|
|
Under ProDOS "/HARD1/STARTUP", and "/HARD1/BOOT/="/HARD1/BBS/SETUP and FILE"
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The files, and what purpose they serve will be explained in the next volume.
|
|||
|
