#RAM CRASHES AMI1000
3 messages in this thread
I own an AMI1000 which I use primarily as a component in a small home music
studio. Only recently I upgraded to 1.2 kick & boot, and after doing so, I
began to have problems copying data in and out of ram: If I type "copy ram:#?
df1:" I get "Unrecognised command copy", and subsequently, any command I type
is unrecognised. I have to reboot. This never happened under 1.1, btu perhaps
I have a bad chip, and the purchase of the 1.2 software was only coincidental
timing? Anyone have similar experience?
Brian,
Have you assigned C: anywhere, and is the COPY command in that place?
If not, does the copy command work anywhere?
Don
Brian, somewhere along the way you've assigned copy to a place that copy
doesn't reside. For eg. if in your startup-sequence you've copied df0:c/copy
ram: then you need to assign ram: as the place to look for the copy command.
You may be doing the assign to ram: before the acutal copy of the 'copy'
command to ram: and now DOS can't find it. If you are creating a ramdisk or a
recoverable ramdisk like VD0: in your startupsequence do something like the
following:
makedir ram:c
copy df0:c/copy ram:c
assign c: ram:c copy all other c commands to ram:c that you use frequently.
The reason for copying 'copy' first to ram: then assigning the c directory to
ram: is so that you don't have to keep accessing the c directory on your
workbench disk to load the copy command and it speeds up the copying procedure.
