;; This example shows how to format a track to
;; DATA format
;;
;; This code is public domain and can be used in your
;; own programs.

;; Written by Kevin Thacker, 2002.

;;------------------------------------------------

;; firmware function to find a RSX
.kl_find_command equ &bcd4

;;------------------------------------------------
;; find BIOS: FORMAT TRACK command
;;
;; This method is compatible with other DOSs that
;; override or provide this command. If the command
;; is not found, then there is no furthur action. Therefore
;; on tape based systems, this code will have no effect.

ld hl,cmd_bios_format_track
call kl_find_command
ret nc

;; command found

;; store address of command
ld (bios_format_track),hl

;; store "rom select" of command

;; D = track number
;; (change this value to define the track to write to )

;; HL = address of C,H,R,N table

;; number of sectors defined in table

;; N = 2 defines a sector size of 512 bytes
;; R defines id of each sector
;; H = 0 for DATA format
