Un-lha the mui archive then delete all the demos and locales then re-lha it so the archive fits a floppy. You should be able to do this on a PC with the unZip utility, at least mine handles lha files easily


I'm using MOS running in a Mac Mini to download and manipulate downloads. How do I re-ha the rest of files to in fit in a floppy?

Re: Help installing DENEB card in A3000 desktop (DILEMMA)

All,

This is my technological dilemma:huh:
As I have explained, I have installed and extracted all files from a DENEB card in my A3000, configured with an internal (adapted and no modifications were necessary) CF Card Reader (from Mechware) and one floppy drive. I have a 2GB cf card mounted in a PCMCIA card adapter with Workbench 3.9 mounted on it, and serving as my booting HD.

Then I have an A1200, also equipped with a PCMCIA card reader, 66GB HDD (with 3 partitions) and finally, a MOS 3.0 equipped Mac Mini (I have a multiple firmat card reader working with my MOS computer).

My dilemma is how to combine or use these 3 technologies, to bring muimaster.library to my A3000. I tried to copy the downloaded (from my MOS computer) file in lha format from a CF card using the PCMCIA adapter with WB3.9 in my A3000, but I guess that I may need to finish some configuring here too, since when I swapped the card: First, I get a mssg saying that I need to replace WB39 back in the unit, and if I cancel that, and insert the cf card with my muimaster file, I get a mssg saying that my dh0: (I guess it refers to my PCMCIA mounted unit) is unassigned and it's ghostly.

So, you experts out there...what kind I do to break this vicious cycle which doesn't let me finish the installation of my DENEB and bring life to my A3000?

Does it make any sense?

I think so! :P

Do you have FAT installed on the A1200? The easiest solution would seem to be transferring the file from your MorphOS machine by FAT-formatted CF card to the A1200, then from the 1200 to the 3000 by floppy.


Could you please tell me where to find FAT, if it's installed in my A1200? I'd think that I might have it, since I have been using cf cards in my A1200 for almost a week now, after installing a few files and apps that I was recommended to have (i.e. FAT95 that came with cf card patch).

If not where can I download it from and how to use it? Thanks in advance for any help.

@ damion or anybody else who could help:


I'm getting closer, but NOT quite there yet. This is what I did:

1. I copied the mui88usr.lha file directly in the cf card that I'm using as my startup HDD in my A3000.
2. I extracted the .lha file just by double-cliciking and the Unarc app did the job. I unpacked everything in a partition that I have in my cf card called "Data,"
3. I found a drawer named "MUI" in my Data, that was made during the unpacking.
4. I opened the drawer and launched by double-clicking the Install-MUI and used the Intermediate level. BUT, I noticed that the installation says that it will create a drawer called "MUI," which I already have there
5. So I continued with the installation in spite of the warning and I got ...Sorry...an Error Has Ocurred!
COPYFILES: Couldn't copy file :"LiesMich" in line 563. I know this is German for ReadMe file
DOS Error Type: Unable to access a file or drawer--object in use.
Then the install windows closes and I don't think the installation was done.

What can I do?
