Those things are not really related, but yes there is a fix for that

Such pity they had not thought about that 40 years ago!

Would an optional KEYWORD for Setdate be something feasible?

Setdate ram:test.txt ISO8601 2024-07-22 21:41:52

The format could handle it 40 years ago - they just didn't make the ui to do it

And yes a keyword is feasible - not sure we will find time to do it though - many other things we want to spend our time on too

I thought you would use that for the floating menus. Anyway glad to hear there is a fix. Thx in advance.

Thanks for reminding me about RAD: sadly it's useless for Non Standard bootblock ADF's but a good option for other ADF's sometimes. I may move it out of Storage otherwise I'll forget about it again.

I guess I was being too optimistic (probably not feasible as paraj pointed out) that something could be done about those Non Standard bootblock ADF's. I was thinking there may be some clever trick possible to avoid the direct hardware access of the real floppy interface especially via the Early Startup Control.

@boemann why not also build a set of roms for 68000/68020/68030/68040/68060 with max optimized settings and let user judge if it’s worthwhile or not?

Because we have better things to do than doing pointless work

Of course! You set the priorities.

Thanks for the answers and thanks a lot for taking it into consideration! :-))
