  • Importing binary files to DOS 3.3 disks under CiderPress?

    From Jayson Smith@21:1/5 to All on Thu Oct 14 10:09:09 2021
    Hi,

    Sorry if I'm missing something obvious here. I want to be able to use an assembler under Windows to assemble Apple II programs. However, I don't
    know of a way to import the resulting binaries to a DOS 3.3 disk with CiderPress in such a way that the four-byte binary header giving the
    start address and length of the file is also included. Is there a way to
    do this?

    Thanks,

    Jayson

    Add the file type / aux type tag to the filename, e.g. "FOO#062000" for a BIN file that loads at address $2000. Then just add it to the DOS 3.3 disk image. Since it's being added as a BIN file to a DOS disk, the load address and length will be added
    automatically.
