Hi again, yup it's formatting alright now... thanks!

Ah, found it...! I'll transfer it right away and test it... thanks a lot!

Do you have it compiled already? Where can I download it?

Now that you mention the Atronix... I just recalled I inherited one of these some years ago... perhaps I should put that to good use as well.

Hi again, Well, yes... I remapped according to what drives I have attached (one 5 1/4" and one 3.5" floppy, and two Horizon HRD's at >1400 and >1600 respectively), the path, the command prompt, and the necessary drive assigns. In any case, as a minimum, I'll have to remap the floppies to the HFDC of course, but I could try without any other changes? I do have an original TI floppy controller available as well, if that could prove useful somehow; testing etc.

I didn't have much luck with the floppies I used, bad sectors... so I dropped the boot disk. I was, however, able to copy CYA to a floppy and execute it from it... so the read/write routines seems to be okay.

I'll try that... it does read the directory alright; I'll try writing system/sys to a disk and boot from it.

My archive project, by the way, is not forgotten. I have everything copied to my emulator by now, and next step is to dump all my cartridges. I've had very little time though; the work at the railways has become increasingly exhausting since they want to spend as little on it as possible these days, so we're actually too few. Anyway, I'll upload asap!

Okay, that's what happens. It's almost impossible to completely avoid such bugs; I've been programming mostly in php and javascript myself, and a single semicolon or something makes a heck of a difference, haha

Hi, I thought it was my step rate setting, so I addressed that - set to 16 ms now. However, that didn't solve the problem. The CRU address is 1100, and the REMAP is as follows: 1J 2K 3L 4M 5E 6F 7G 8N 9O The command is a FORMAT (with or without head/sec/track parameters), almost immediately announcing a "media or device error". Then I reverted to 7.30 (would've used 7.40 but took the "wrong" version), and it formats fine again.

Ehrm, except that the floppy format routine - at least with the HFDC - now is broken in this release... c".)

Great, thanks a lot!

Thanks, I'll see if I can find that one. c",)

Yeah, but the problem is I don't have these two programs... MAXRLE and Graphx. I do have MyArt, TPA, Pix Pro, YAPP, and TI Artist, though. c",) I didn't recall YAPP could be used with gif, but I'll try that - thx!

Thanks for the info!

Okay, I'll take a look into that... think I have a copy. Thanks!

In the mean time, I found gif2 which works, although not as user friendly as I could wish for. Do you know where to find MaxRLE?

During my intense floppy archiving project, I've come across some picture formats I don't recall to have seen before. It doesn't help much that I've been away from it for many, many years, alas... c".) Anyway, I encountered quite a few RLE and Graphx format pics, but don't know with which programs to display these. Any suggestions? Altso, I lack a good gif viewer for the Geneve...

sorry, wrong place...

Yeah, okay... we do have some limits to deal with, I have to keep that in mind.

That sounds nice, where can I find that one?

Well, there aren't really any configuration options I think; it does return an error message of course, and some files can prove useful partially copied, but program files and archives not so much of course. Still, I love having two windows at my disposal and it's nice to be able to go up and down directory levels simply by pressing enter. The other managers are, IMHO, lacking in this aspect. What would be nice, too, would be an integrated "Archiver 3" so that one could create and extract archives directly between these two windows. I don't know if any Archiver 3 or 4 source code is available?

Indeed! It's worth the efforts, and once everything is copied I'll have everything directly at my disposal on a single or two hdd images. I've completed 7 boxes by now - probably about 400 disks or so - and halfway through.

I understand your arguments. I've also had good experience by the way by copying those files that didn't generate any errors. then retrying with the bad ones... then it's quite often just able to read them.
