Easy1541

Vicky · 13 December 2012, 00:20

I have an Amiga 2500/HD and a Commodore 128 w/1571 drive. I have the Easy1541 cable and software and am trying to format a DS/DD disk (with the notch covered) with Easy Flash1541 and no matter howq I format the command, I can't format the disk and can't write to it. ALL the other functions work perfectly. The command I am using is:

IECCMD "N:TEST.AA"

I have also tried:

IECCMD N0:Test.AA
IECCMD NO:TEST.AA
IECCmd TEST.AA

NOTHING WORKS!!

I would really appreciate any help I can get. BTW, I have used Google extensively. i have read the posts in which people get chastised for not doing that.

I used Easy1541 and mounted the drive as IEC device and used as normal!

Uncover the notch, you cant format a write protected disk.

Ive only written images, iecwrited64 filename.d64, and off it goes.

No change.

I can't use it because it's not for WB 2.1.

Been some months now since I last used Easy1541, but in the IECCmd command syntax shouldn't be typed a comma instead of the period?

Code:

IECCmd "N:TEST,AA"
