C.Ltd SCSIdos 3.0 and/or Scope PD disk 46

mark_k · 30 March 2015, 20:51

Bit of a long shot this...

I'm trying to find a full/complete copy of the C.Ltd SCSIdos 3.0 software, which was used with old C.Ltd SCSI controllers.

There is a partial archive on a PD disk, Scope #46, which is on the CDPD #2 CD-ROM. However the SCSI3.PAK archive seems to have been truncated. It may well be that the original Scope disk 46 was like that as well, but I'm hoping not.

On disk #46 there is a dir Packit. I copied the file Packit and the scsi3.pak to ram then opened a cli and typed >Ram:Packit e Ram: SCSI3 .A bunch of dirs and files were unpacked to Ram:.

I used A1200 config in WinUAE.

Yep that's what I did. It seems the .pak archive was truncated somehow. Because of that the readerr program is broken and whatever other files were after that are missing.

It may well be that the compiler of the original Scope PD disk didn't notice that problem. Or maybe the copy of that disk from which the DMS file on the CD-ROM was created was bad?

It's a pity they didn't just leave the disks archived. I'm sure this one would have had a SS with it. SCSIEnquire asks for a missing Utilities:/s/1

EDIT: I found this scope #46.dms disk on the UPD Gold #4 CD but, it's the same problem as the CUPD CD

I just read that Scope disks are included in the latest Tosec Release.

EDIT: Retroplay has put a copy in the zone but, same problem I'm afraid.

I've found this disk. It's the SCSI3dos disk from c.ltd.

Brilliant, thanks a lot! Where on Earth did you find that? Lots of Googling for it didn't get me anywhere much.

Desiv over at Amibay had a copy. He wouldn't let me have it so I had to hack his computer for you
