This is an alternate approach proposed by Sean Nolan in 1987 which allows placing the driver files in a subdirectory of the root volume to avoid clutter and file ordering issues. Only a SETUP.SYSTEM file is needed at the top level, and the drivers go into a SETUPS/ directory. All drivers here (except QUIT.SYSTEM and SETUP.SYSTEM itself) have alternate forms built into the /DRIVERS/SETUPS/ directory as XYZ.SETUP instead of XYZ.SYSTEM. If you choose to use SETUP.SYSTEM, place these .SETUP files in your SETUPS/ directory. The naming doesn't matter - any SYS or BIN file can be used - but this convention makes distribution easier. These .SETUP files do **NOT** chain to the next file - that's handled by SETUP.SYSTEM itself. Resolves #16

# No Slot Clock ProDOS Driver
|
|
|
|
Adapted from `NS.CLOCK.SYSTEM` (by "CAP"), with these changes:
|
|
|
|
* Fixes a typo
|
|
* Removes beeps
|
|
* Is less chatty so you can have multiple clock drivers, e.g. if you use the same hard disk image across different hardware configurations
|
|
* Uses file I/O rather than block I/O for chaining
|
|
* Does not hard-code driver file name
|
|
|
|
## Other Utilities
|
|
|
|
These `BRUN`able files are also built:
|
|
* [SET.DATETIME](set.datetime.s) sets the No Slot Clock date/time.
|
|
|
|
`NS.CLOCK.SETUP` is for use with [SETUP.SYSTEM](../../setup/README.md).
