boot disks for emulators

[Ada]

Hi!

I have both A-max and PC-task on adf disk images and I want to know if it's possible to find boot disks in adf format too, in order to make the emulators work. I don't know if it´s possible, as I remember A-max using a strange disk format. But maybe a MS-DOS disk image could be easy to obtain, but will WinUAE accept it?

Thanks!

Thanks and sorry for the late post!

I tried what you said but it didn't work, I've done several tries but none of them worked.

1. Ok, I got an MS-DOS 3.11 image (I remember it worked on a real Amiga) and saved it in .IMA format with WinImage (TSGui didn't accept the .dsk format)

2. I created a custom disk with WinUAE (it created a 2.056kb disk, is it ok?)

3. I used TSGui to copy the .IMA file (previously saved onto a .adf file by using ADF viewer on Windows) and it warned me that the final floppy would be smaller than the original custom amiga floppy. I accepted and began to make the disk.

But finally PC-task didn't boot with that disk. I think I followed every step you told me, where am I wrong?

Thanks again!

Thanks!

I used "mount pc0: from msdos.ima¨but got his error:

"device 'pc0:' not found in file ´msdos.ima' "

I've noticed that winuae indicates that the custom disk I created is 'write protected', and I can't change that

The AmigaDOS manual hasn't been very helpful for me, as I can't understand very well what is explained about the 'mount' command

What am I doing wrong, please?

Thanks again,

Juanma

Hi!

Thanks for the disk, but it didn't work I think it's not a problem with the disk, cause the message "starten von msdos" appears on screen, but then the emulated amiga crashes and the usual guru message appears, so maybe it's a problem with Winuae of the config I'm using.

My problem was I can't mount pc0:, cause both "mount pc0:" and "mount pc0: from msdos.ima" ended with an error message. Once I'm able to mount, I suppose there will be no problem with TSGui.

I'll go on trying anyway

Best,

Hi!

Ok, I'm getting it (slowly

I've mounted PC1: by double-clicking its icon in the storage disk.

I created a custom disk named 'test'

In TSGUI, the screen appears as:

DF0: Workbench
DF1:
DF2:
DH0:
PC1: (I click here)

Then I select file->msdos.ima and press the 'file->disk' button. It begins to copy files and if I type dir pc1: in the shell, pc1: contains the command.com, etc... but how I transfer it now to the custom disk?

Oh, man, I'm getting mad with this, but I see a light in the end of the tunnel...

Thanks again,

Juanma

Oh, I forgot, I simply double-clicked on PC1 icon to mount it, so I suppose it is assigned to DF1: automatically?

Ok, shame of me!

Now I understood. Then it should work

Thanks again!
