Hi Rob,


AAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggghhh...  How does someone go about doing
this...?  Or is my system just incompatible?


What are you trying to do? And what are you seeing when you try?


MFM disc
1 1056 16 63 512


The `drive number' is in the range 0..3 so drive 1 would be drive 5
under ADFS.  Perhaps that's it.


Ah that might do it...


I'm trying to get the HardDrive Image from my A5000 into the emulator.
I have a 520MB harddrive that I have made an image to an NFS drive using FCFS. However, when I tried that, it didn't work at all, the emulator died just after the desktop started.


Reading around, I thought I'd try a smaller disk, which I hooked up to the Arc and formated as 959, 8, 63. This I loaded with the stuff I wanted, but couldn't get the emulator to work until I stuck:

MFM disc
1 1858 8 48 256

In the config file.  It seems to work better, but I still get lots of:
Seek - cylinder address greater than specified (=1066)
Seek - cylinder address greater than specified (=1069)
Seek - cylinder address greater than specified (=1035)
Seek - cylinder address greater than specified (=1069)
Seek - cylinder address greater than specified (=1069)
Seek - cylinder address greater than specified (=1035)
Seek - cylinder address greater than specified (=1035)
Seek - cylinder address greater than specified (=1075)
Seek - cylinder address greater than specified (=1075)
Seek - cylinder address greater than specified (=1075)
Ad infinitum, while I'm using it.

I also haven't worked out how to get it to start the !boot sequence on startup.

I did manage to load Style onto it, which was my main purpose.

Now, my aim, is to be able to produce and get to postscript versions from style. I will probably setup a postscript printer, but what are the easy ways of getting the information onto a linux partition? How do people do this?

Can I create a 50MB msdos format hardddrive and use it with the dosfs module?

I don't think a floppy image is going to be big enough. I have a syquest 230MB disk, that I loaded drivers somewhere into the boot sequence, that could read a dos format syquest, so I probably have the correct modules somewhere. If only I could remember back to 1999 when I used to use the Acorn.
