The DOS Wedge is a piece of Commodore 64 system software that was popular in its time. It was written by Bob Fairbairn, and was included by Commodore (CBM) on the 1541 disk drive Test/Demo Disk (filename: "DOS 5.1") and also packaged with the (filename: "DOS WEDGE64"). The DOS Wedge was referred to in the 1541 drive manual as DOS Support and on the software startup screen as DOS MANAGER. The original design was developed by Bill Seiler.

  • The DOS Wedge is a piece of Commodore 64 system software that was popular in its time. It was written by Bob Fairbairn, and was included by Commodore (CBM) on the 1541 disk drive Test/Demo Disk (filename: "DOS 5.1") and also packaged with the (filename: "DOS WEDGE64"). The DOS Wedge was referred to in the 1541 drive manual as DOS Support and on the software startup screen as DOS MANAGER. The original design was developed by Bill Seiler. The Wedge made disk operations in BASIC 2.0 significantly easier by introducing several keyword shortcuts. The DOS Wedge became somewhat of a de facto standard, with third party vendors such as Epyx often incorporating identical commands into fastloader cartridges and other Commodore 64 expansion devices. COMPUTE!'s Gazette published several type-in variations on the DOS Wedge, including a C128 version in its February 1987 issue (see External links, below). The original Commodore DOS Wedge was a 1-KB program written in MOS 6502 assembly language. It resided in the otherwise unused memory block $CC00–$CFFF (52224–53247) and worked by altering BASIC's "CHRGET" subroutine at $0073 (115) so that each character passing by the BASIC interpreter would be checked for wedge commands, and the associated "wedged-in" routines run if needed.

  • El DOS Wedge fue un popular componente del software de sistema del Commodore 64. Escrito por Bob Fairbairn, estaba incluido por Commodore (CBM) en el disco de prueba/demo de la unidad de disco 1541 (archivo: «DOS 5.1») y también provisto con el (archivo: «DOS WEDGE64»). El DOS Wedge a veces es denominado en el manual de la unidad 1541 como el DOS Support (soporte DOS) y en la pantalla de arranque del software DOS MANAGER. El diseño original fue desarrollado por Bill Seiler. Wedge hace las operaciones de disco en BASIC 2.0 significativamente más fácil introduciendo varias palabras reservadas abreviadas. El DOS Wedge se convirtió en una especie de estándar de facto, con proveedores externos como Epyx que a menudo incorporaban comandos idénticos en cartuchos de carga rápida y otros dispositivos de expansión para el Commodore 64. Compute!'s Gazette publicó varios con variaciones en el DOS Wedge, incluyendo una versión para C128 en su número de febrero de 1987 (ver Enlaces externos, abajo). El Commodore DOS Wedge original era un programa de 1 KB escrito en lenguaje ensamblador del MOS 6502. Reside en bloque de memoria $CC00–$CFFF (52224–53247), que de otra forma no se usaría, y trabaja alterando la subrutina «CHRGET» del BASIC en $0073 (115), por lo que cada carácter pasado por el intérprete BASIC sería verificado por los comandos incluidos, y sus rutinas asociadas, si era necesario.
