Khonich, it seems. And then I had/saw so many scorpion firmwares - quite often these commands were located at different addresses (#09ef and some others). It is best
to look for these commands, as is done in some copiers, such as UFO.

In the installer it will be like this, by the way. Yes, there really is a serious need for an installer. Now that I'm getting tired of the commander's approximate version (it will most likely be a boot for now), I'll get started with the installer right away.

In my monitor version 2.95 (or something like that) - #09ef, and in version 2.5c - #09bx
(x - I don’t remember)... There is also some 2.3j, but that’s for EM...

Uh-huh...

Is there any standard at all, at least for some command for receiving
information from the port?

From Kirill Frolov To All 4 May 1999

Nothing is standard for scorpios. Or use RST 8, it has VERY SLOGGY functions for working with a soft disk. Or look for the 3FF3 command
IN A, (C). If it is not there, then program the ROM - there will be FF there.

I don’t know such standards. I’ll say again that it’s easier to _look_ for such commands in ROM, and then store these addresses in system areas... The time it takes to search 3-4 bytes
will not take so much and will go unnoticed with each reset. True, there will be several such sequences. :)

But I came across a ROM in which there are zeros at these addresses. :))) I would strangle
the author. :)

I will do this in the installer.

God forbid I have the same one - I’ll strangle the author :) Although, in any case, I’ll use NeOS
when I flash it, I’ll change TR-DOS.

Finish it so I can rewrite and delete the files!
