+orpheuswaking Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Not sure I want to change my firmware again after my three day MYDOS nightmare What... you used MyDOS for three days? That IS a nightmare... I hope you have recovered Orpheus! Very funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drac030 Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 I added some stuff to my page: http://drac030.krap.pl/en-kmkjz-pliki.php These are: 1) an example WAV to use with D2D 2) VS and VX, very simple movie players (one for GR.8, the other for VBXE) + three movie files. VS and VX use is very simple: VS filename.VS or VX filename.VX If the DOS does not support CLI, the program should try to open a "D:OUT.VS" (or "D:OUT.VX") file. But I did not check it. Works best on a 32 MB SDX partition anyways (because of the I/O speed). Have fun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rybags Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Unbelievable - I just bought a used 20 Gig drive at a computer fair. Put it in my USB caddy - no good, just constant clicks, doesn't come online. That makes it 5 drives I've bought, tried and had to return. Probably would have been better off just spending the $70 or so on a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drac030 Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 The D2D player sound incredible, especially with the 8-bit Covox playback! Updated D2D on my website. Few bugs removed, added new command line options, updated D2D.DOC file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Anyone located a decent project case for this? I want a matte-black box wide enough to house the whole unit, into which I'll cut apertures for the external cart slot, XE connector, and 50 way cable.

Will be interesting to see how you get the case to fit flush with the XE connector. That thing fits SNUG! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only tried the interface with an XE for the first time the other day, and there's not much clearance. I still think a valuable opportunity was missed in not having the unit cased at the point of manufacture. Of three IDE adapaters I have on my desk, only one retails in a case... SIDE.

GoodByteXL Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Since I slaughtered an old external usb hard drive to get a drive for the IDE V2, there are some remains left from that business. Looking at them I thaught about using the interface module ide-to-usb from that case to attach an usb stick to the IDE V2. Anybody tried it or has some experiences?

Rybags Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I doubt it'd work. It's controller is a bridge to allow the PC to use USB protocols to access the attached disk. The controller in it acts as a USB device, ie "External disk cadddy" or whatever from the PC point-of-view, and converts PC requests to the ATA commands needed. I'd very much doubt it'd work the other way around. It wouldn't have the USB host functions that allow it to talk to a USB flashdrive since it's only intended to act as a "slave" peripheral.

MEtalGuy66 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Yeah the chipset on that USB hardisk controller PCB is a USB CLIENT, not a USB HOST.. so it's not gonna work that way.. Heres what you could do though: You could hook it up in paralell so that both that board and the IDE Plus 2.0 are connected to the drive.. Use a couple of octal tristate buffer ICs on the USB-BOARD side, so that unless that board drives the select line low, it's effectively "off" the IDE bus.. Then, when you want to access the drive (or flash card) on the IDE 2.0 via your PC, just turn off the atari and plug the USB cable into the PC.. When you want the ATARI to access it, just unplug it from the PC, and turn the ATARI back on. This would of course take some experimentation to get right, but it would be a kewl Idea..

Rybags Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 That brings up another thing - has anyone attempted using imaging software on the PC to backup/restore drives/cards ? Obviously it'd need to be one of the packages that doesn't care what filesystem is present, or alter the device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodByteXL Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 (edited) That brings up another thing - has anyone attempted using imaging software on the PC to backup/restore drives/cards ? Yep -> HxD http://mh-nexus.de/en/ But be careful what type of reader you use - some drivers tend to write to the card. So I put a IDEtoCF-Adapter into the ide connector of my pc mainboard. SD is the same issue. Edited July 1, 2011 by GoodByteXL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Might be worth a shot. I believe there's also such things on Sourceforge. SD card write-protect is a hard switch isn't it ? That should give some assurance that Windoze doesn't trash the things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should give some assurance that Windoze doesn't trash the things. It does, but it is not windows writing to the cards - at least I never spotted that with WinXP - but the drivers of the respective card readers are the sod - mine all were connected via usb. Therefore I baught ide direct connect adaptors for SD and CF and from then on it was safe. Nevertheless, windows bitches about an "unformatted media". Abort it and with e.g. HxD it is possible to do a raw backup and raw rewrite of a backup to the card. A direct connector is as fast as a hard drive, even when writing isn't that fast. BTW, if you use a usb connected card reader, you'll have sufficient time to go out for dinner ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
