I’ve updated ChiCLI with basic support for 1581 drives and partitions.
It only supports partitions that exist in the root partition. I’ve only
tested in VICE as my 1581 needs a pcb.
I also added a help command so you can look up help for a specific
command and it pulls the help from a help file.
It would be great if someone with a real 1581 could test this out and
let me know if it works.
I tested on a real 1581, but had trouble entering a partition. I
formatted a 1581 disk, then created a partition from tracks 60-80.
Here's a video of what I tried:
https://www.lyonlabs.org/temp/chicli-20211231.mp4
At the end I drop back to JiffyDOS to navigate the partitions so you can
see what's really there. I ran this on an Ultimate 64 so I could stream
the video :) but got the same result on a for-really-real 64C.
Did I type the ChiCLI commands correctly? (I also tried "part b" in case
he was seeing the root as 'a' and the partition I created as 'b'.)
