Programming:A simple disc copier using BDOS functions

From CPCWiki - THE Amstrad CPC encyclopedia!
Jump to: navigation, search
;; A simple disc copier which uses the BDOS functions.
;;
;; This example shows the correct method to access the BDOS functions.
;; This copier will work on CPC & CPC+.
;;
;; Copier supports:
;; - Vendor and Data format discs ONLY
;; - 40 track disc drive ONLY
;; - single sided disc drive ONLY
;;
;; Copyprotected discs can't be copied using this program!
