Doc Mindie · 16 March 2006, 15:54

I'm a little bit confuzzeled.......

And I've no idea where to excactly PUT this thread, so :/

Anyroads... I've got PCTask up'n'running under WinUAE, everything fine there, except.... how do I get the DOS-floppy-images to work?

I think prb.Apps is a better forum for this to be in....so thread moved

Lol you beat me paul while I was idling with page open hahaha

Paul · 16 March 2006, 16:06

Oops, sorry

Doc Mindie · 16 March 2006, 16:14

ahh, thanks guys

Question still standing, though

BippyM · 16 March 2006, 16:23

can't you mount them in winuae and then use the amigados drivers (PC0

?

This could possibly be a winuae issue!

Doc Mindie · 16 March 2006, 16:58

I've tried inserting "MSDOS5.IMA" into df0:, then mounted PC0: but no.... not recognized :/

would just be so cool to emulate a PC under an emulated Amiga on the PC..... uhm....yeah.... if you get me drift

BippyM · 16 March 2006, 17:08

I reckon the image would need to be mounted with a custom floppy!

Dunno if it is possible to enable PC drives in winuae and then mount the floppy image pc side..

Toni Wilen · 16 March 2006, 19:15

EDIT: *see below*

PC floppy images are not supported (they are mounted as an underdumped adf which of course won't work)

You need to have msdos floppy in "custom" adf format. I remember seeing guide somewhere..

Man you're nuts, like a male ape without balls

BamBam, of course I'm nuts, I've singlehandedly invaded England for the second time in Norwegian history :P

Toni Wilen · 31 March 2006, 22:36

PC 720k/1440k disk images will be directly supported in next WinUAE release. (no need to use extended adfs anymore)

Chuckles · 01 April 2006, 06:23

Hooray! I look forward to trying that out!

SilentBob · 02 April 2006, 23:44

Ah, I've been messing around myself trying to get PCTask to work under WinUAE. Now I understand why PC formatted ADFs wouldn't mount.

I remember running Windows 3.0 under PCTask 3.1 on my 1200 back some years, it was very slow, but it worked.

Bamiga2002 · 03 April 2006, 08:39

I put Win95 to my PC-task 4.4 and it was horribly slow, but hey, it worked anyway!

I don't remember if it lasted 10 mins to load it first.

Another 5 min to reach that "shutdown" command, aw the itch to get quickly out of Windows...

Paul · 03 April 2006, 11:06

I remember trying PC Task once on my 2MB A600, took me 20 minutes to load edit (ms-dos) tool, if I remember right

Now why did you even try that in the first place?

I remember Transformer IBM when I used it on my A500, not so much slow with TurboPascal !

Would it be faster on WinUAE/EUAE ? Where I can find that app ?

ciao
