prog8/compiler/res/prog8lib/cx16/diskio.p8

; Commander X16 disk drive I/O routines.
; Largely compatible with the default C64 ones, but adds more stuff specific to the X16 as well.

; NOTE: If you experience weird behavior with these routines and you are using them
;       in the X16 emulator using HostFs, please try again with an SD-card image instead first.
;       It is possible that there are still small differences between HostFS and actual CBM DOS in the emulator.
;
; About the secondary addresses:
; for writes (new files or overwrites), you can use 1 (without the mode string) or 2-14 (with the mode string)
; for reads (existing files) you can use 0 or 2-14 (mode string is optional)
; for modify mode (new files* or existing files), you must use 2-14, and the mode string ,s,m is required
