That program is capable of the physical       formatting of a CF card but it's usually not needed. CSU writes what is needed       by ProDOS after you specify the number of partitions and their sizes. After       booting CP/AM the O/S will        allow accessing the partitions as drives E: and F: but not properly. For       example, attempting to copy a file to either drive gets an error message about       insufficient directory entries. That's 'cuz, while the partition/drive can be       physically read from        or written to, a CP/M directory structure is not present. The yaze Z80       emulator package has a program for creating images of large partitions. Maybe       if I play with that program I can transfer enough valid information from the       yaze image to my CF card        to allow CP/AM to play nice with it.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
