Copy the SIO2USB-SHELL to a Disk

We advise you to copy the Shell program to a diskette and store that diskette
in a safe place and do not use it for everyday use.
Mount the Shell as described in chapter 5.1. After that swap the images D1
and D2 (command "SWA 1 2" using the Shell; or use the keys, see chapter
4.1.3).
✖
D1 must not be mounted or active. Now switch on your disk drive D1 or
your SIO2PC.
Leave the Shell using the command QUI. Start a disk copy program which
supports two drives simultanously (e. g. DISKCOPY.COM which comes with
TurboDOS on the S2USHELL.ATR image) as D1 and insert a blank disk into
disk station D1. Please refer to the instructions that came with the DOS or pro-
gram on how to use the copy program.
5.3.

Copy Diskettes/Files to the SIO2USB

To copy real diskettes to disk images do as follows:
As described above, connect the SIO2USB and boot the computer. The Shell
will be started.
Create a new image with the command MAK <name>.ATR xD". For xD please
state SD, MD or DD as the density you want. For "<name>" please state a
name of your choice for the image, not more than 8 characters long.
Mount the newly created image with "MOU <name>.ATR x", where x is the
number of the disk station and <name> is the name of the image. Use 3 for x,
so 1 is kept free for your real disk station (or SIO2IDE or SIO2PC etc.) and 2 is
kept for the virtual disk with the SIO2USB-Shell.
Now leave the shell using the command "DOS". You will be transferred to DOS.
Format the disk image in the correct density which you have chosen two steps
before. Do not forget to put a DOS on the disk if needed. Now you can copy
files or whole diskettes from the real disk station number 1 (or from SIO2PC or
from SIO2IDE etc.) to the virtual diskette in disk station 3. The disk image will
be updated. When you want to change the image to another image, use the
Shell (see chapter 5) or the keys (see chapter 4).
