OCM: questions and answers

All I need to do then is:

-format the SD card (FAT 12/16)
-put the DOS2 files (command.com, etc.) in the root directory
-copy .rom files to a directory that includes the MGLOAD file so I can load standard roms and megaroms
-make directories containing different progs like if it were a large harddisk
-Turn DIP switch 5 to ON (and DIPs 7 and 8 to 01 in order to load megaroms too)

Now the machine should start in DOS2, then I'd need loaders as you say, but how to start a .bas file in DOS (I've never worked under DOS). Do programs need specific loaders or something like that? Thanks in advance again (sorry, I'm a bit nerd)

Try to change the DRIVE letter and the directory first.
Later type:

BASIC filename.BAS

(could be any other extension or even a loader with a blank extension.)

You can even make BAT files with the text:

BASIC loader.BAS

If you make a bat file you only need to type the name of the BAT file to execute the BASIC loader, no need for any extension.
example:

AUTOEXEC.BAT

Type :
AUTOEXEC

Autoexec.BAT files are easy to make.
All BAT files are plain ASCII texts.

Thanks! I'll give it a try

not to load rom files, but it is to software that uses the memorymapper of the msx2 and that is not programmed so well (usually cracked mega-roms that load from a basic loader)

Guys,

Is there any way to save date / time in OCM or does it not emulate CMOS? I have to set time / date every time I boot up MSX-DOS2...
