S-DOS, as a ROM-based DOS, automatically sets the computer up after every reset. Like ROMDOS XL , you can turn the extended format off if you want to use normal format disks. Unlike ROMDOS XL , it also lets you use the extended format in the A-drive, and turn the extended format back on again without having to reset. The copying utility is the best of any of the DOSses reviewed, as although the normal copier handles the same range of programs as any other, a special copier is included to transfer any file from one drive to another. In general, the "disk utilities" section is extremely well-presented, bug-free and easy to use. Like MS800 , S-DOS also provides a useful command to let you run awkward programs which don't usually cooperate with large format DOSses. Other extra commands include one to load a file at any address in memory, a BASIC program de-protector and even a header reader. Finally, the format is compatible with ROMDOS (not XL) and 400K/S. S-DOS isn't perfect. As with all the other DOSses, it doesn't auto-detect between normal and extended formats. The fact that you are restricted to two 400K sides, rather than a large 800K side a la ROMDOS XL, is a shame. But its friendly, easy to use, and provides the best overall range of features offered by any of the DOSses. AA | ★ AMSTRAD CPC ★ DOWNLOAD ★ |

Page créée en 238 millisecondes et consultée 1726 foisL'Amstrad CPC est une machine 8 bits à base d'un Z80 à 4MHz. Le premier de la gamme fut le CPC 464 en 1984, équipé d'un lecteur de cassettes intégré il se plaçait en concurrent du Commodore C64 beaucoup plus compliqué à utiliser et plus cher. Ce fut un réel succès et sorti cette même années le CPC 664 équipé d'un lecteur de disquettes trois pouces intégré. Sa vie fut de courte durée puisqu'en 1985 il fut remplacé par le CPC 6128 qui était plus compact, plus soigné et surtout qui avait 128Ko de RAM au lieu de 64Ko. |
