To switch to drive 2, you just put a d2 after whatever command.

CATALOG,D2
SAVE FILE,D2

Hosekeeping commands: init, catalog, save, load, run, rename, delete,
lock, unlock, verify, mon, nomon, maxfiles, fp, int, pr#, in#, chain,
open, close, read, write, append, position, exec, bload a$start, brun,
bsave, A$state,l$length.

Note that you can also use decimal addresses on bload and bsave. Plase

mon: turns on monitoring of dos commands use mon c,i,o
     c= commands, i=input, o=output   use nomon to turn off
maxfiles: number of text files that you can have open at once.
fp: enter floating point basic
chain: This is a program on the master disk. You can run a basic
program without erasing variables.

The rest you should remember. Please don't send mail asking me what
these do. If you don't by now, it is too late!

As for ProDOS, I have a manual, but it is a piece of shit! The old dos
manual used to give you useful programming information and let you
poke around in dos. The PRodos manual is for idiots, and besides, I
haven't seen any master prodos disk images.
