Re: Can I read a disk's raw data, like in a hex editor?

2006-04-08 Thread Sean Shao
As far as I can tell, Rev can't communicate directly with the hard disk 
without some form of external written to do so.


On a slightly related note, I created a library that will create dynamically 
sized disk images that was to be used with Mark Schonewille's "Buttefly" 
project but a known bug in the DOS emulator would corrupt the disk image.

Can I read a disk's raw data, like in a hex editor?

2006-04-08 Thread Kurt Kaufman

I want to access it in Revolution instead of using somebody
else's hex editor software


If  a Hex editor can "see" it, then Revolution can as well.  But if  
the data stored on the card is not entirely printable text you need  
to specify that the data is binary.


(Forgive me if you know all this already)

Re: Can I read a disk's raw data, like in a hex editor?

2006-04-08 Thread Karl Becker
The MMC card is hooked up via an internal memory card reader, and  
shows up an a drive to the computer.  Is there a driver for Windows  
or Mac OS X that allows me to directly access a drive?  Where is a  
place to find all the drivers installed on a system, and to find some  
documentation about them?  The suggestion in the new Revolution  
documentation, reading the file /dev/tty  ,  did not work on my iBook.

Re: Can I read a disk's raw data, like in a hex editor?

2006-04-08 Thread Karl Becker
We are using a small PIC processor (a cheap, inexpensive device for  
embedded systems work) to talk directly with the MMC card.  We are  
communicating directly via a serial port to the MMC card, and the  
data is being written directly to the card in a strange method that  
only shows up in a hex editor.


We are not actually specifying a file on the formatted card with the  
PIC processor, but rather we are using the PIC processor to tell the  
MMC which sector we want to write 512 bytes of data.  It is very low  
level and rough, but we seem to be writing some data to the card -  
and I want to access it in Revolution instead of using somebody  
else's hex editor software.


How does the operating system access the direct bits off a card?  And  
how could Revolution do it?  Hopefully this email clarifies my  
problem some, please ask if you want more clarification.

Is there anyway to read the raw contents of a disk with Revolution?
