## Getting The DAs Onto Your Apple II
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Transfer the `.$F1` files to your Apple (real or virtual) ensuring you:
|
There are a handful of approaches for getting the files on your real
|
||||||
|
or virtual Apple.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Drop the suffix
|
### Create a Disk Image
|
||||||
* Replace `.` in the name with spaces
|
|
||||||
* Ensure they have ProDOS file type `$F1`
|
|
||||||
* Ensure they have start address `$800`
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The last two are tricky, and depend on how you're copying the files.
|
To produce a ProDOS disk image with the DA files, install and build the
|
||||||
My process is to use Virtual ]\[ on my Mac and mount a folder as a
|
|
||||||
ProDOS drive; I copy one of the original DAs into the folder which
|
|
||||||
gives it the $F1 filetype as a suffix and start address as an invisible
|
|
||||||
resource stream. I then unmount the folder, overwrite the DA with
|
|
||||||
a newly built one, and remount the folder.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This is done by the `res/go.sh` script.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Finally:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Drop the files into your `A2.DESKTOP\DESK.ACC` folder
|
|
||||||
* Restart so A2D picks up the new DA
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Tips:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* You can use the Sort Directory DA to order the files, which controls
|
|
||||||
the menu order:
|
|
||||||
* Open the `A2.DESKTOP\DESK.ACC` folder
|
|
||||||
* Press Open-Apple and click on each file in the desired order
|
|
||||||
* Select Sort Directory from the Apple menu, and verify the order
|
|
||||||
* Restart

### Mounting Folder via the Virtual ]\[ Emulator
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you use [Virtual \]\[](http://www.virtualii.com/) as your emulator,
|
||||||
|
you can skip creating a disk image.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
With `desk.acc` as your current directory, create a `mount` folder,
|
||||||
|
run the `res/go.sh` script, and the built files will automatically be
|
||||||
|
copied in. Then run Virtual ]\[ and use the **Media** > **Mount Folder
|
||||||
|
as ProDOS Disk...** menu item. A new ProDOS volume called `/MOUNT` will
|
||||||
|
be available.
|
||||||

### Other
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you need to copy the files some other way (e.g. via
|
||||||
|
[CiderPress](http://a2ciderpress.com/)), you need to do the following:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Transfer the `.$F1` files in the `out` directory, ensuring you:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Drop the suffix
|
||||||
|
* Replace `.` in the name with spaces
|
||||||
|
* Ensure they have ProDOS file type `$F1`
|
||||||
|
* Ensure they have start address `$800`
|
||||||
|
* Ensure they have auxtype `$0640` (to match the originals)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The last three are tricky, and depend on how you're copying the files.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Install Instructions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once you have the files accessible on your Apple:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Copy the files into your `A2.DESKTOP\DESK.ACC` folder (using A2D or any other tool)
|
||||||
|
* Restart so A2D picks up the new DA
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|

* You can use the Sort Directory DA to order the files, which controls
|
||||||
|
the menu order:
|
||||||
|
* Open the `A2.DESKTOP\DESK.ACC` folder

|
||||||

* Select Sort Directory from the Apple menu, and verify the order
