+DrVenkman Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) ok, solved.. how i can flash ONLY side II via u1mb atari? uflash freezing, not enought memory, mix of strange letters.. very very very buggy software Boot your machine with SpartaDOS X enabled on the U1MB. Run uflash from an external drive or attaches SIO2SD or SIO2SD device with the command: x uflash.xex And coming to the author's thread to complain about his "very very very buggy software" is probably not a good idea, especially when it works perfectly for most of the rest of us.

Bikerbob Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Is there a function, utility, tool etc.. that can read a sparta directory and reorganize it? I dont see anything for displaying a directly by file type, only by date. I would like to see my bigger directories (HD) with files and then directories. As fas as I can tell it just arranging everything one after other when it is written? many a program to re-organize and rewrite the diectory.

drac030 Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 There is a directory sorting tool on the CAR:, SORTDIR.COM. It sorts the directories permanently. In longer dirs (like 500 entries) it may take a while, so do not abort it when it seems to sit there doing nothing. It is sorting 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drac030 Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) The reason I noticed this is that I tried to use CLX to repair the bitmap on a 16MB megadisk that used 3.2, and it reported hundreds of errors, such that I couldn't get through the run without allowing CLX to fix the directories. I forgot: the CLX has the command line switch /I = "ignore harmless errors". When you specify /I at the end of the command line, the "wrong" directory header status should get ignored. The switches are listed when one runs CLX without parameters. Edited April 20, 2017 by drac030 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargoyle Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 That's a pretty clean and sharp looking screen shot drac030, may i ask what kind of converter/display you are using. If I had to guess I would say VBXE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drac030 Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 I do not own any hardware capable of making screenshots or films from the real hardware. So when I need to do such a thing, and there are no critical details which would prevent it, I use Altirra the emulator to produce the screenshot. This is the case above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerbob Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 So I have a question. I am trying to setup my harddrive (CF card) on my incognito. I have created a boot drive e: and I have my config.sys and autoexec.bat on there. I also have a \system directory in that \system directory I have created an \apttools and \sptatools directories and copied both of those trees into them. with the sparta tools I used Fujimans batch to unarc everything into it. Now as I understand it, if my PATH is car:;e:\system\ Nothing below the \system directory is in the path correct?? so although I have all those tools there, I cannot get to them through the PATH tool. Is there a way to use Path recursivly? FIND does it for example?? OR am I just best to copy what I think I will use on a regular basis into the \system directory and not slow the response down while it would search through all the recursive directories, since its a HD I wondered just how slow it would be.

James Why not make a partition your PATH=CAR:;F:;? and put anything you need in your path partition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trub Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 in that \system directory I have created an \apttools and \sptatools directories and copied both of those trees into them. with the sparta tools I used Fujimans batch to unarc everything into it. Now as I understand it, if my PATH is car:;e:\system\ Nothing below the \system directory is in the path correct?? so although I have all those tools there, I cannot get to them through the PATH tool. You will have to add the two subdirectories to the path too, i.e. e:\system\apttools e:\system\sptatools. This is the way PATH works (not only on SDX, but also on Windows and Linux). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roydea6 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I would like to see a parameter added to the COPY /N functions to have a COPY /N 2 so it would stop coping after the second or (other number) is completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) started having difficulties using 4.49b with APE and mixed DOS copy from drive to drive.... Copy from sparta to mydos disk etc and it's not happy.... but earlier sparta x's are no problem not sure what's going on as I haven't had a close look at it... If I can pull the directories and I can, it should in theory be able to copy.... but it fails... Edited May 5, 2017 by _The Doctor__ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drac030 Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) @_The_Doctor__: the SIO drivers in SDX have not been changed for ages, so if you suddenly experience problems, something else must cause it. You can always try to switch to OS routines (DEVICE SIO /A) and see if it makes a difference - if you have IDE+ or an OS with highspeed SIO, that is. @rdea: /N is "skip existing destination files". So it is not very clear for me, when /N 2 is supposed to stop - after copying two files, after skipping two files, or ... ? If the former, why this parameter is to be added to /N?

_The Doctor__ Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Could be I was using the older Sparta most of the time as I liked to use 64 char mode displays... and have started testing about with 4.49b again. I will download the latest and flash it on one of the super sparta x carts, If I can get it to work and at full speed I will switch the others over to it.... If I can't then I will roll all the carts back to the last version that will. I have always used Sparta and enjoyed the fact it used just about everything to it's fullest potential without too much hassle. I'll give it another go.

drac030 Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 I hope the 4.49c - as "current beta" - will be released soon. Like next week. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) okay I'll wait for C, No sense in wasting flash cycle and time on what will surely be replaced with a better version probably addressing most issues. I am slowly trying to be of use in testing like at was at the start. So many years so little time Edited May 5, 2017 by _The Doctor__ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roydea6 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I hope the 4.49c - as "current beta" - will be released soon. Like next week. I seem to be having problems with the FDISK commands with this new beta 'c' Error loading D:FDISK0.OVL. seems not to be looking to the CAR: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drac030 Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 @rdea: please provide more information to reproduce the issue. Ideally: an ATR image with CONFIG.SYS to boot the SDX from and the binary files which do not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drac030 Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 All clear now (although the FDISK is not present in all builds). I have reproduced the issue, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
