Title: Drawbridge
Post by: notel98 on January 20, 2025, 03:12:10 PM
I know that I can load a disk using my Drawbridge drive but can I access the drive from Amibench. Eg use x-copy to write a mounted adf to a real disk ?

Thats one thing I haven't tested yet. Will try and test tonight.

In regards to writing, it won't write anything flux wise protected. All other adf's are fine though.

Thanks, I only wish to write unprotected adf to disk. So insert adf file into df0 and then write to drawbridge drive via something like x-copy

Why would you do that ?

XCopy will not run on AmiBench, just use GoADF or TSGUI from Aminet to write back an ADF file to real disk. Works fine on AmiBench (tested with a Greaseweazle)  8)

If you really want to use XCopy, just make a Custom Setup with DF0 using ADF and DF1 using DrawBridge/Greaseweazle, then start the XCopy ADF on DF0 and write back any ADF by copy from DF0 to DF1 ...

I would have done it this way.

You could also use EasyADF, :).

I mentioned x-copy as a method of copying, I just wish to write an adf to drawbridge (real disk) through Amibench. So thanks for everyone’s suggestions

Works fine, just do it  ;D

//EDIT : Just did some more tests and it seems that the configuration using DF0 or DF1 as REAL FLOPPY DRIVE will not be saved correctly. After powering off and on the A600GS it´s all back to using ADF, maybe someone can look into that  :)

I tested last night, works fine in amibench. Will have to check on settings saving after switch off.

Was that with the Drawbridge title or a custom system?

On AmiBench and in Custom Setup :)

Are you sure you "SAVED" it rather then "USED" it ? Testing here the config appears to save correctly.

VERY sure, I made a quick video that shows the problem I have ...

Thanks for the video.

Found the issue. The config is saved correctly, but the fullsystem subclass sets is default of DF0 and DF1 being ADF based *after* the parent class loads the settings in it's constructor. A fix will be forthcoming shortly.

I have just copied x-copy files from adf to amibench work drive folder then run x-copy from icon on Amibench. I then copied a mounted adf to real disk on Drawbridge drive. It seems that x-copy will run from Amibench and copy mounted adf files to a real disk.
