Instructions for IDEPC

Bigdos is best putting in AUTO folder onfloppy, and so boot.  (For
Falcon you need Bigdos-F). For IDE PC is not important starting it
from AUTO folder.  After start, it checks presence of IDE drive, and
reads ID sector.  After it program scans for DOS partitions, and
builds BPB of them.  And writes how many partitions did found.  Next,
program asks "Rresident driver ?", it's not mistype, and it should
mean 'reset resident driver'.  If user chooses no, program returns to
TOS (caller) and you may read PC disk.  It always starts with letter
C for first partition, D for second etc.  If chooses rresident
driver, program resets machine, but driver is in high memory, and
activates itself.  It is good, when then Bigdos is in floppy drive,
and loads.  I didn't put changing boot device to C - it has no sense
with PC disk.  Benefit of rresident driver (if you know some better
name, tell me) is that it survives reset, and it occupies no low
memory - well for somegames.  Simple program for measuring raw speed
of read, called '10MEG_TR.TOS' is included.  It reads 10 MB from
drive C, so from passed time you may calc.  how much KB/sec is
transfer rate.
