problems mouting a pc disk

15 December 2002, 14:57

ok i was following the guide at http://ale.emuunlim.com/get-kick-rom.htm, but when i type mount pc0: it returns an error Device 'pc0:' not found in the file 'DEVS:MountList' so it might have something to do with me beeing a total newbie

, but what do i do to get my pc disk mouted so i can get the kickrom to my pc ?
its an amiga 600 with 2 Mb ram and workbench 2.1

AFAIK, pc0: is a device handled by CrossDOS.
As CrossDOS *should* (?) be part of WB 2.x, I think it might not be properly installed.
But that's only an assumption.

CrossDos is only part of 2.1, not 2.04

well i looked through the manual but i cant see crossdos or mount mentioned anywhere

RetroMan · 15 December 2002, 19:34

to use CrossDos, there should be a file called PC0 in DEVS:DOSDRIVERS or STORAGE:DOSDRIVERS ! Go and check for it :)

ok now i got the drive mouted thx for the help
next problem :-)
when i write TRANSROM RAM:KICK.ROM it starts typing a lot of encrypted stuff on the screen for about 5 mins, then afterwards there are no file named kick.rom on my ram:

any ideas ?

ok, there's 2 things you could try...

1. redirect the output eg. TRANSROM >RAM:KICK.ROM

2. use saverom (attached) eg. saverom ram:kick.rom

Yup

Severin is correct, ">" should do the trick here
