### 14.1 Specifying files in c1541

When accessing CBM DOS files (i.e. files that reside on disk images), c1541 uses a special syntax that lets you access files on both drive 8 and 9. If you prepend the file name with `@8:` or `@9:`, you will specified that file is to be found or created on drive 8 and 9, respectively.

For instance,

    @8:somefile

will name file named `somefile` on unit 8, while

    @9:somefile

will name file named `somefile` on unit 9.
