================================================================================================

Some of the new files on this ATR Please enjoy this atr. A lot of hours when into it. and Yet I am still not done.. Oh well, I will keep working. 
Please let me know what you think of the command files

ssc.com "Super Sector Copy" This will allow you to make atr's the size of your source drive from 4 to 65535 sectors, floppies or hard drive and then
sector copy them to the target ATR. Support's the APE, MUX, Black Box, MIO, Ramdisk's "must use my ramdisk.com" <note> if you have a black box and a partition map ssc.com will backup you entire hard drive from the command line. 'ssc parm1 parm2' parm1 = black box temp drive, Parm2 is the ape
drive. Be aware this can take several days to run depending on the size of  your hard drive. SSC, will map your black box according to you partition
map, create an ATR file the same as you partition map name and then sector copy to the atr of the same name. SSC do not care how big or small your
drives are... It will just make an image of them. If you wish to just copy a partition or two just type in 'ssc' and it will bring up a menu that has help screens in it.

mount.com from SpartaDos or Real.dos you can mount the atr you wish.

unmount.com you can unmount an ATR from the command line.

Make_atr.com from the command line you can make any size atr you wish, single or double density, Mount it and also build a directory. <note> building a directory requires double density.

tdline2.com has the fix for y2k and correctly takes care of the day of the week. Pulls time from r-time 8, APE, or Mux depending on your configuration. Also this tdline2 is aware if it has already been loaded and will update the time and then exit without reloading the handler.

ramdisk.com ram disk handler that can be re-entered. This ram disk handler will function in single or double density you can change it's drive letter
or map it out all together. Then re-map it when you are ready. Also you must tell it to format. so if you soft boot your machine and re-boot dos a
simple 'ramdisk d9:' will re-install the handler. You can also sector edit the ram disk. With ssc you can sector copy it to an atr file. This is the very tool that was used in creating the atr I e-mail to you.

ram_load.com will load an image file byte for byte to restore a ram disk.<note> you must be using my ram disk handler.

ram_cap.com will save the entire contents of a ram disk to an image file. <must be using my ramdisk handler>

os_cap.com will copy your OS out to either an IBM image file or Bob burner file.
<no need to desolder to have a chip image>

os_menu.com the support file for the SMARTOS that I use.

park.com will look into what kind of pbi device you have and Park it correctly. Black Box and MIO only.

Turboss.com High speed screen Handler.

hdfmtdir.com will read the percom table calculate the amount of sectors and build a new directory on anything. Yes Anything! Black Box PBI drives,
hard drive partitions, ram disk <if you are using my ram disk Handler>, standard floppies. Note: This will not format MY-IDE drives due to the MY-IDE OS rom not being PERCOM compatable.

All these files are 100% assembler code. Written with xasm.exe

Here is a list of the Support Command files and there Status.
