programming • Re: Is it possible to reload the DFS into &E00 after overwriting?

I've never had a problem doing so - and used to do it BITD. Officially the memory is allocated to the DFS so it's not yours. The standard Acorn DFS however uses page &11 to store information about open files and pages &12 to &19 as buffers for these. So &1200 is just buffers but &1100 could conceivably cause the DFS to get confused - although I've never had that happen.

Other filing systems are less tolerant to their workspaces being abused so going below &1200 for NFS isn't possible on a standard B - which is another reason to choose &1200 as a starting point.
