==Introduction==

The <tt>AMCOS.MOD</tt> file contains the list of kernel files required for boot, their description, and the physical address where they must first be loaded.

The <tt>AMCOS.MOD</tt> file is interpreted by [[AMC-OS Loader]] during [[Boot process]].

==File format==

The <tt>AMCOS.MOD</tt> file is composed of several lines, one per each file to load in memory using this format :
* Fixed 11 bytes in FAT format containing file name
* Between colons the 16 bit segment address where to load the file, in hexadecimal (with H suffix)
* File description

Example :
{| class="wikitable"
|-
|<code>KRNLAPI AMC,0400H,AMC-OS KERNEL API DLL</code>
|-
|}
