 OS9MAX                                                 MANAGE OS-9 MEDIA ON PC
 


 PRODUCT INFORMATION
 
 OS9MAX is a unique software solution to handle OS-9 disks on MS-DOS PC. The
 software allows any read, write, and format operation on single-, double-, and
 high-density diskettes. Custom versions for PCMCIA chipcards, media imagefiles
 and hard disks are available on demand. Your can transfer text and binary
 files from the floppy disk drive to the PC hard disk and vice versa with full
 path name as you know it from MS-DOS and OS-9. The program can be completely
 remote-controlled via its command line or by means of an ascii command file,
 which contains the program command list. OS9MAX allows automatic format detect
 and manual setting of all physical disk parameters (tracks, sectors, sector
 offset, track offset, sector size, block size, format headcode, double
 stepping, density,.. ). After detection or manual specification of the disk
 format parameter, you can add the format to the internal format list with a
 single command. OS9MAX allows any PC to transfer OS-9 diskettes via modem and
 telephone line. The reproduction or duplication of OS-9 media is supported.


 COMMAND SURVEY
 
 chd (change directory), cat/dir9 (show directory), makdir (create dir),
 deldir (delete dir), tree (show structure), del (delete a file),
 list (type a file), copy from/to floppy disk, attrib (change file attributes),
 rename (rename file/dir), dcopy (copy a diskette), auto  (auto detect format),
 set (set special format), format (format a diskette), dcheck (check system
 structure), free (show free space), map (display free space map), exit
 (terminate and exit), help , macro (execute a command list from a file)


 DISK FORMAT                                            STATE OF IMPLEMENTATION
 
 Predefined are all OS-9 formats of Microware, Oettle + Reichler, Eltec , PEP,
 Motorola, Ultrascience, ... (38W7, 58W7, 38U0, 58U0, uv380, uv580, 3803, 5803,
 dm0, dh0, d0, dx0...). The "auto" command is provided to detect formats which
 are not predefined. OS9MAX will detect really every double- or high- density
 format. A 'user-defined-format' option is provided. OS9MAX is highly parameter
 driven, every format paramter is adjustable by the user. The disk format
 descriptors can be saved as ASCII files.


 INSTALLATION                                             HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
 
 "Plug and Play"-software. No installation is required. You only have to copy
 the program to your hard disk. System requirements are a AT class PC or Laptop
 (>80286) running MS-DOS. OS9MAX offers different screen modes: from full
 screen SAA GUI style mode to B/W LCD or monocrome display mode. OS9MAX will
 run in standard DOS environment or under MS WINDOWS 3.1 (DOS Box).

 SPECIAL FORMATS & HARDWARE
 
 If you receive the demonstration version of OS9MAX and you will not be able to
 read the desired diskettes, please give us a call or fax. We will incorporate
 this special format into our software as soon as possible. We have many more
 solutions available than listed in this information.

 The OS9MAX software supports special diskette drives and controllers to handle
 Japanese media formats with FM recording. OS9MAXMC supports external PCMCIA
 drives.

 If you have the media with OS-9 data - we make the media readable from DOS !


 CUSTOMIZING
 
 What we need is only a OS-9 disk for testing purposes which has already been
 formatted on your OS-9 system. Please write some files and directories to the
 media after formatting: this will allow extensive testing over the entire
 media.


 SAMPLE PROGRAM SESSION                                            HOW TO START
 
 This demonstration does not reflect the SAA style desktop of OS9MAX because
 demonstration starts with '/m0' option (TTY = non SAA mode).

 1. Start OS9MAX
 2. List directory of OS-9 media
 3. Terminate OS9MAX

 Insert OS-9 media into the selected drive, the start the program by typing at
 the MS-DOS prompt:

 Ŀ
