Description
This new version allows any combination of upper or lower
case options to be specified.
Also, current parameters are displayed with a "$" preceding
to remind the user that the values are hexadecimal.
Options may be prefixed with a "$". It is simply ignored.
Examples
Typical dmode output:
OS9: dmode /dd {enter}
drv=$00 stp=$00 typ=$80 dns=$01 cyl=$0334 sid=$06
vfy=$00 sct=$0021 tos=$0021 ilv=$00 sas=$20
Now, let's say we want to change the number of cylinders
this descripter shows. The following command lines would
all be valid and accepted by the new dmode:
OS9: dmode /dd CYL=276
-or- dmode /dd Cyl=$276
-or- dmode /dd cYL=276
Lastly, you may now specify either "TOS" or "T0S" to setup
the number of sectors per track in track zero. Example:
OS9: dmode /dd tos=21
-or- dmode /dd t0s=21
