Myide II To Floppy Disk

[Paul Westphal]

I purchased the flash cart to take games from the cart and put them on disk, and I can't figure it out. I have the FAT32 set up and it works fine. Mydos is set up with the max available memory. Mydos does not see the games in fat32. How do I transfer the files from the cart to my IndusGT? I could not find any info on the Atarimax boards. Help!! Is there another ( easier way ) to accomplish this?

hi!

 

Your question is not completely clear to me.

 

Best place to ask questions about myide II is the Atarimax forum.

 

Did you read the manual(s)? You can find them on that atarimax forum too. There is pretty much good documentation.

MyDOS does not have FAT32 driver to access the FAT32 partition on MyIDE2.

The way you go about it is to create a bigger image/partition partition (use the MyDOS image tools for that and put 3 as the image space).

Then you prepare ATR out of the files you care for on a PC, finally use MyIDETool on your PC to put the ATRs in the image/partition space (depending on how big they are, but for what you are trying to do partition space is the way to go).

Now once you boot into MyDOS you'll have access to the mounted ATR partitions (up to 15 I believe) and proceed that way.

 

Here on atarimax there are 4 PicoDOS ATRs (16MB each) with a huge selection already and with slow SIO set [so they mostly work on MyIDE2 partition space], pay attention that to play them MyBIOS R2 is the way to go, F2 is not that compatible being RAM based, and you almost always need MyBIOS to trap SIO calls (not all games works as some have custom SIO routines and don't go thru the OS so they just won't work from MyIDE2 image/partition space).

But you can use those PicoDOS disk with a MyDOS boot and then transfer whatever is in there to floppies, not perfect but a beginning.
