Nextor kernel version 2.1.0 beta 2
NEXTOR.SYS version 2.10
COMMAND2.COM version 2.44

Buffers from RAM on write not save to disk.
Example:

  1. I mapped floppy disk image(size: 737280 bytes) by commands:
_MAPDRV("B:","A:BASIC_PG\BASIC.DSK")
_CHDRV("B:")
  1. I saved file from BASIC, file successful saved and viewed by by command FILES.
  2. I reboot machine but file on disk image is not found...
    I viewed this image on PC and found this file content, but file name in FAT table is missing.

Hello, I'be been able to reproduce not this exact bug but a similar one: after creating a file with copy con on a mounted file, the file gets apparently created, but then trying to display the file contents with type gives garbage. Clearly there's something wrong when writing to mounted files. Thanks for reporting!

v2.1.0: post-RC1 fixes (#61)
ab66c7d 
- Fix: broken RAM disk (introduced in RC1).
- Fix: disk errors for old MSX-DOS 1 file functions in BASIC crash the computer (#59).
- Add: new flag returned by LUN_INFO allows to instruct Nextor to ignore devices when searching devices for automatic device to drive mapping (#54).
- Fix: files can't have 3 or 4 in their names in DOS 1 mode (#55).
- Fix: after booting directly yo BASIC by pressing 3, CALL SYSTEM doesn't work.
- Fix: slot disable keys don't work on real MSX computers (#49).
- Add: new boot key, pressing N at boot time disables all the Nextor kernels present.
- Add: default DPB gets a fixed address of 7BAAh in banks 0 and 3, so it can be customized reliably.
- Add: PROMPT routine made available to drivers at address 41E8h (#42).
- Fix: the DOS 1 variables "data buffer changed" and "redirect console output to printer" were not zeroed when switching to DOS 1 mode at boot time.
- Fix: can't change volume name when there are long filename entries in the root directory (#57).
- Fix: absolute sector read/write functions not working properly when a file is mounted to a drive (#43).
- Fix: bad sector buffer management when writing to a mounted file causing data corruption on the mounted file (#58).
- Fix: drive parameters not updated on first access to a drive after a media change if the driver provides drive mapping via DRV_CONFIG, causing bad data read (#45).
