If I could, I would have done it long ago. I can't. :(
That’s why I’m asking for something ready.


All the best.

I can suggest a way.
long ago, when Isaev's resident Khonich was written in tyrdos, I
made such a joke. I started from izdos with tyrdos, but, in principle,
it doesn't matter from where - the main thing was to break away from the main carrier :)

in izdos we write some kind of program that creates in last pages of memory
a copy of the system. Afterwards we configure the system to the desired form and launch this little program. it creates a copy in memory, saves registers - I saved all
48 memory minus the screen.
Next we press reset and dump these top pages onto disk...
Then we write a bootloader - and that's it...
This thing loads a copy onto the pages, then it crashes into tyrdos and the
resident determinant starts it. Then it’s a matter of technique...

You can do the same. This program is on the zx-server...
a copy of the system is loaded onto pages #d4,#d6,#d7...then these pages
load from the screw (I don’t know how to do this in your case) and fly to
tyrdos.
It starts...

Sincerely,
Renat

Hmm... Load the 8th sector of the zero track into the STS at the address #5d25 and track from
the loading address. Just keep in mind that it assumes the drive is ready...

I have been actively using this program for a long time. Thank you, by the way!

I thought of this method right away. But I immediately forgot.
It’s crooked and not universal. All standard is-board sv, etc. go to the garden, and
the file is as much as 48K! You can, of course, shake... But is this method much better than
magic?
