Steve Mynott Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Is this possible? I can see how to do it for SpartaDOS and MyDOS at http://www.atarimax.com/ape/docs/DiskImageFAQ/ but not Bewe DOS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CharlieChaplin Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Well, the BeweDOS own Format.COM does only 360k. But you can use a "trick": format 16MB with SpartaDOS or a Sparta tool, then copy BeweDOS and Boot.COM onto that disk/image/partition with Menu.COM and make it bootable with Boot.COM. Tried it, works ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a8isa1 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 As an aside, does anyone have a working image of Bewedos 1.30? I thought I had but every ATR I have that has XBW130.DOS on it doesn't allow to write back to the disk/ATR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a8isa1 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 _The Doctor__, thanks! Turns out I've been making a silly mistake. COPY is an extrinsic command in BeweDOS. After making big ATRs I never put all the utilities on them or I put them in a place where they could not be found by the CLI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Mynott Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 So I used the Spartados command to format and transfered BeweDOS to it fine and the 16MB image boots fine under emulation. But when I tried it with a SIO2SD it fails to boot. Is there anything special I need to do with this device? Or does it not support such large ATR?

_The Doctor__ Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 did you issue the boot BeweDos command after the transfer... that should bootstrap BeweDos and make things much happier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Mynott Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 The disk boots fine under emulation. The disk doesn't boot on a real Atari with SIO2SD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Did you try reducing sio to sd speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Mynott Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 To answer my own question. I was able to boot the 16MB image from the sio2sd.xex loader although it doesn't work booting directly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
