Operating System Notes

If you have a Sirius with no operating system (boot) disc, by far the easiest way to go will be to find someone with a working Sirius and have him make you a copy. At present I have an archive disc but no means of making a copy, and the disc format is non-standard. However, be assured that there are still working machines owned by Sirius enthusiasts out there!

Enough information is here to boot a Sirius from nothing but it would not be a trivial task. On each boot disc MSDOS.SYS has been archived by PKZIP (on the Sirius the Bios and DOS are combined in MSDOS.SYS, which is normally a hidden system file). However what has not been saved is the (disc) bootstrap to MSDOS.SYS - you would need to run SYS, FORMAT, SYSELECT or SYSGEN to create a bootable disc. Of course you need a booted Sirius to do this! IDRIVER is a device driver for an expansion board we produced which interfaces an external MFM (720K) drive, but we never got round to writing the code to boot off the external drive. It is also possible to boot from the serial port.

An interesting project would be to write a PC program which booted a Sirius via its serial port. Then you could restore the OS, download the rest of the stuff here and Lo! a working Sirius, started from nothing.

LO80.ZIP is for system hackers. LO80 is the 80th and last version of the LOROM i.e. half of the Sirius Boot ROM. (The other half, HI12, containing the floppy, hard disc and serial boot sub-routines, was patched in an EPROM programmer using a partial disassembly as a guide.) LO80.ASM is the source code for the system test, screen display on start-up and the boot itself. The Issue ROMs were based on the Universal ROMs (checksum F3F7), capable of booting all operating systems.
