Frank Eggen is back with another fascinating dive into Commodore 64 hardware, this time showcasing DolphinDOS 2.5 with an upgraded disk drive featuring 512KB of internal RAM and a built-in Diskcopy DOS extension. In his latest video, he explores the enhanced capabilities of this setup, which brings new commands and improved functionality to the Multi-Speeder 1541 drive.
One of the standout features is the ability to perform two-sided internal disk copies using freshly introduced DOS commands: @cdr1, @cdr2, @cdw1, and @cdw2. These additions make handling disk duplication much more efficient, reducing the hassle of manually swapping disks. The integration of 512KB RAM further supercharges performance, making it a game-changer for users who demand faster and more efficient storage operations.
Eggen walks viewers through the process, demonstrating how these enhancements work in real-world scenarios. Whether you’re a seasoned C64 enthusiast or just getting into classic hardware mods, this is a setup worth checking out.
