As you may or may not know, the C4PMF (505 board) does not have BASIC IN ROM on board. Nor does it have nice serial input and output routines in its SYN600 monitor ROM (At least I am not aware of them!).
RAWDUMP in the OSI TOOLS was written for the C1P and uses its cassette port and BASIC keyboard support to accomplish its I/O. It is also easily modifiable to the C4 cassette version and the 510 board using serial support from its ROMS.
I downloaded the source and modified it to work with the C4PMF. The I/O is all performed over the serial connection, not using any screen output, but it works fine.

Well I had a chuckle about this. Here I am a world away down here an someone in Canada has tweaked the same piece of code to do practically the same thing at nearly the same time ! It also led me to think its strange we dont have any UK101 users on the forum from England or indeed elsewhere ?
RawDump by Marks Spankus is a great interface to the OSI DOS routines and really useful for any DOS App you may have in mind.
Ive added a couple of additions to this -still on the read side of things but it would be useful to go further and add Disk Write routines, eg the TK0 R/W, Format, DOS write Single Drive Copy etc...
PS why are you guys still sticking with SYN600 ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
