Atari800WinPlus Questions

I'm using a ATR image of MyDOS 5.53/4....

 

I've created a 16mb .atr image using APE.

 

My goal is to copy a bunch of .xex files to the 16mb ATR image file.

 

So, I use O to attach the 16mb drive and then I to initalize it and H to write DOS files to the disk.

 

It works, I now have a 16mb .atr image that will work as D1:

 

I use ALT-H to map a virtual hard drive as H1: to the physical path

 

C:\temp\atari\executables

 

Where my xex files reside.

 

I do a directory

 

A

 

H1:*.*

 

And it lists the xex files on my physical hard drive.

 

I try to COPY the files

 

C

H1:*.*,D1:

 

And I get an error -- 170

 

But I can copy an individual file for example

 

C

H1:BATLZNE.XEX,D1:BATLZNE.XEX

 

 

Although

 

C

H1:BATLZNE.XEX,D1:

 

Will fail. I have to type in the destination file name

 

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

If anyone is interested, my finally analysis is that the Atari800Win PLus implementation of "H: drives" is flawed and unreliable. I found a work around, I'll post more later.

Yea please do, I'm interested, I haven't tried the H: Drive through Atari800Win+ yet so I'll be interested to know how your luck turns out.

Iratanam... on the workaround:

 

The same disk image that I create for the MyIDE cartridge can be used in emulation to make xex files on a PC accessible in emulation without using the H: Patch. In the document, this is the step titled "Creating a Hard Drive Image File". You can use MakeATR or APE to perform this action.
