Hi,

For Sio2IDE 3.3a I wrote a few small tools which are very handy for (personal) use.

I want to make these tools also for my Sio2USB but now I need technical information. Where can I get that information?

I need the sio commands to control the drive settings on Sio2USB.

One of my uses is this:

I'm using the MyPicoDos created by HiasSoft. I have plenty of games and demo files on this partition, and yes: that works fabulous.

But: some games need a disk, and a lot of nice demos need a disk (some demos are devided in a A-side atr and a B-side atr).
In my situation (with Sio2IDE 3.3a and my own tools) I have for every diskbased program a tiny program. Let's say the demo Joyride of HARD.

There is a small programm in my Boot Partition called JOYRIDE.COM
This small programm puts the JoyrideA.ATR on D1: and the JoyrideB.ATR on D2: then it reboots the computer.

Extremely cool. I want to create this for Sio2USB.

Another example.
When I am going to program some software. I have a mac/65 boot disk on D1: a sources partition on D2: and a tools disk on D3:.

So from PicoDos I start the tiny tool: prgrming.com and pfffffrrrrrttttt My SioIDE3.3a sets these 3 disks on the right places and reboots the computer.

It is wonderful, and so simple.
I'm the proud owner of a few SIO2USB's and I want to use them a lote more. So I hope someone can tell me where to get the technical info's.

Hi Marius,

please write directly to Thomas or Harry and ask for the API documentation for SIO2USB.

Here´s a link to Thomas Grasel´s homepage.

@cas and sleepy

thanks, I have emailed. I hope I will get the docs. Sio2USB is very cool, but it is even cooler when I know how to control it over sio

Thanks again!
Marius
