Thank you all for your comments. Just tried on the real QL, something such as
copy con_ to ram1_test the magic number is 27314 <CTRL> + <Space> afterwards I can see the text file using the TK2 command VIEW. The only thing I miss is input echo, I have to type blindly (and as all of you know the QL keyboard is somewhat Â$%?(&/"#) Is there a way to perform such an action with input echo turned on? This experiment suggests QDOS does not need an EOF character (which IIRC is not a char that sits there as a byte of the file but is rather a command to close the file under MSDOS) In case the file would not have been properly closed on the disk - does QDOS or TK2 have an utility to check for the integrity of a disk (something comparable to CHKDSK from the MSDOS world)?
