#PCDisk
6 messages in this thread
Hi Don! I tried the "STATUS FULL" after double clicking the PCDisk. I got
"Process i: stk 4000,gv 1SO,pri 0 Loaded as Command: STATUS. I atyped "RUN
PCDISK" and "PCDISK" from another CLI, and the same message. Evidently, it is
not working, right? I tried even the newer PCDisk and PCDisk off of the
floppy, and nothing. BTW, while we are on the subject, have you used DOS-2-DOS?
Mike,
Exactly…it's not working, thus your Aread and Awrite isn't working. I
presume that the Bridge is 'bound' and running right?
Let me do a few things tonight…I'll get back to you on this.
Don
I assume the bridge is working Don. I have no other problem. After all, the
Hardcard is accessed by the bridge. Is there any way to see if the bridge is
"bound"? Also Don, are there any PD programs (or shareware) out there, that
lets you read IBM disks and convert to AmigaDOS? I amnot happy with DOS-2-DOS,
espacially for $55!
Mike,
Yes…AREAD and AWRITE read IBM disks and convert to AmigaDOS, if we
can just get it working for you!
Don
Right Don, I used it bucu times until now.
Mike,
Ok, I did a few tests…if you use the ICON to start the task, it won't
show up via the STATUS command, however, the task will properly start…at
least on my machine.
Do this, boot up, but do NOT use the ICON to start pcdisk, rather at a
CLI prompt, type
run :PC/PCDISK
(that presumes you have the file in that directory)
now type status full and see if it's running, it should be.
Now, go over to the Bridge side and try this:
awrite autoexec.bat ram:autoexec.bat
If you get no errors, then look in RAM: and see what's there.
If it doesn't work, look at the file :pc/pcdisk. It should be 5000
bytes long…if it's not, you've got the wrong version. Next, go to your
Bridge side and look at the command AWRITE.EXE, it should be 29974 bytes long.
Also, make sure you don't have the old version of Awrite.exe in a different
directory. You can check this type typing PATH at the MS-DOS prompt and seeing
what your search path is. Then look in each directory for awrite until you
find the first occurance of it. Don't forget your current directory first!
Don
