Yes it is easy, and futureOS abuses it by requested time more than 100 times per second on this screen.

Ok, I found a solution...
Replacing in config file
OBJFILES := $(C_OBJFILES) $(ASM_OBJFILES)
by
OBJFILES := $(ASM_OBJFILES) $(C_OBJFILES)
seems to do the trick.
I also had to put an .area _CODE inside my asm files containing data so it doesn't go out of my control...
Still, if a SORT function can be used here, it can be helpful. Maybe it exists?
OBJFILES := $(sort $(ASM_OBJFILES) $(C_OBJFILES))

Bravo!!! 
Great to see that you can emulate the NovaRTC
From the software side it's very easy: Bank in RTC, read data bytes, bank back in regular RAM. Everybody can do it!

Hello CPCTelera users.
I am currently creating a game with a mix of C and assembly.
Some parts of my assembly files need to be set inside lower 16KB of main RAM : File system / Banking system / Decompressor / Some data area aligned to 8 bytes...
My program starts at 0x140 so you may think it would be easy to do it by just putting my assemblies in the beginning of the linker.
If I do it by hand, I works very well. But if I let CPCTelera as is, it does'nt...
Unfortunately, z80 assembly is done after c compilation and rel files are ordered from c to asm... asm adressing is done after c.
Is there an easy way in config file to force compilation of assembly before c? I am not an expert in config files, each time I tried to move something, everything just collapse to not working garbage
A small sample to understand issue (my game is a bit more complicated):
Of course if you have a clever way to organize the project so that everything is done in a predetermined order, I will try it too.
But just changing assembly and c order could be enough in my point of view.
I also tried to make some subdirectories to organize, but same thing, c before assembly.
I wonder if a step of ordering can be added before link using alphabetical order of rel. If so, I can rename my files to make sure they are done in correct order.

Code Select
Config:
Z80CODELOC := 0x200
a_asm.s
_obj:: .ds 256
; I need this to be @0x200 directly I don't really want to use .area _MyObj (ABS) because I have to change Z80CODELOC accordingly
a_main.c
extern u8 *obj;
void main ()
{
obj[0]='A';
}
When compiling this, _obj adress is not 0x0200 but after main...
If you invert obj/a_main.rel and obj/a_asm.rel in link command it works as I would.Of course if you have a clever way to organize the project so that everything is done in a predetermined order, I will try it too.

I did try futureOS with NovaRTC emulation and it works fine
It also work fine with UniDOS
But SymbOS just freeze after reading the date without even trying to send a out &FE82,00 or any invalid page value.
So if SymbOS guy are around, maybe you can look into the issue.

EDIT: Sorry, i miss understand the situation
I thought you cant use usb drive for writing 3.5" disks.
@xesrjb what kind of problems are you facing?
I use an external usb drive and works good.
You need to choice "usb compatible formats"

Apparently, 1.2 is only available in DSK. So I was trying to run 1.0 from ULIfAC. Which makes it even stranger because I completed v1.0 directly from mass storage. Now it refuses to run. And I checked with |ROM, all ROMs are disabled. Strange! 1.2 apparently works fine from my Gotek
