This release coincides with the AHCS 2021 Christmas Party
Command shell changes:
- Environment variables can now be used, including the reserved ERRORLEVEL token. More on this soon.
- Some Easter eggs have snuck into the code, because why not. They aren't that hidden given the opensource nature.
- Script execution now has a stack, so you can run scripts inside of scripts. The default limit is 8 levels.
- Quirks modes have started to be worked back in, for runtime configuration of Apple & SASI compatibility features.
- set /global/quirks 1 to enable SASI compatibility (untested and not fully implemented)
- set /global/quirks 2 to enable APPLE vendor mode page (to make HD Setup recognize the drive as being sanctioned)
There are still lingering issues with formatting using Apple HD Setup, so for now use a 3rd party formatter such as LIDO, Silverlining, VCP, or FWT. There may be compatibility regressions with Alpha & VAX hosts, this release has been tested on Windows 10 and MacOS 7.
