init -- initialize a ProDOS disk (EXTERNAL) [v1.2]
|
|
|
|
syntax: init device-number [volume-name] [-p] [-b] [-1] [-w]
|
|
|
|
ex: init .52 /mydisk
|
|
init .61 -b
|
|
init .61 -p
|
|
init .51 -1 -b
|
|
init .71 -w
|
|
|
|
Initializes a ProDOS volume. If the volume in the specified device
|
|
has already been initialized, init warns you that the existing volume
|
|
will be destroyed.
|
|
|
|
If no volume name is specified, the new volume is named "/blank".
|
|
|
|
If -p is given, init prompts you to insert the disk to be formatted.
|
|
If -b ("batch") is given, 'init' prompts you to insert another disk
|
|
after each successful format.
|
|
|
|
If -1 is given and a disk in an Apple 3.5 or Unidisk 3.5 drive is
|
|
being formatted, the disk will be formatted SINGLE SIDED and will
|
|
have a capacity of 400K (800 blocks).
|
|
|
|
If -w is given, no formatting is done--instead, just the "boot
|
|
blocks" (blocks 0 and 1) are written to the disk. This is
|
|
necessary, for example, to make a RAM disk (or a disk formatted
|
|
in AppleWorks) bootable. (The program contained in blocks 0 and
|
|
1 finds and loads a file called PRODOS in the main directory of
|
|
the disk.)
