+bf2k+ Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Does anyone have a SpartaDOS Ramdisk driver that works with the Mega-Hz 512K upgrade? I just installed this upgrade and RD.COM works but it doesn't see the entire ramdisk... just 256k. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw your name! I didn't hook up the switches so it is in 512k mode. XRAM checks all 512k fine so I am 99% sure it works fine. SpartaDOS 3.2g RD.COM formats it to 256k and ID's it as a 320K XE (it is a 512k XL). It works fine. RealDOS 1 b24 formats it as a 512k but the screen goes wild when you try to access the ramdisk. IF I try to copy a list of files (*.*) to it, it will get about halfway and abort. (it doesn't do this with SpartaDOS). Also I have not soldered the battery to it yet.

BigBen Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Sorry but I don´t use SpartaDos or RealDOS. It look´s like an error of the ramdisk driver. The only one I think is to switch the mode on 256K Rambo or 256k CompyShop. After than make a new test with the ramdisk. Normaly the old driver was written for 256k Ram extensions. Here a picture of th PCB. To change the mode you must connect two switches between GND -> S1 and GND -> S2. Many greetings, Bernd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBen Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 (edited) MyDos 4.53 in combination with TomsNavigator 1.22. Change the DUP.SYS for TomsNav.... and it´s feel like the old Norton Commander. Easy to use. To switch the Folder press ESC. Here a 16MB ATR-File....

+CharlieChaplin Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Well, Bewe-DOS is compatible with Sparta !! Just use the Ramdisk driver from Bewe under Sparta and it will work !! I always use the Bewe-DOS Ramdisk driver under Sparta without any problems... the Bewe-DOS RD-driver will find up to 1024 kbytes in any XE-compatible bank configuration... (ok, not MIO Ramdisk)... -Andreas Koch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
