The Fabled Power of WinUAE
« on: November 17, 2003, 11:16:26 PM »
Ok- 120 meg Amiga drive attached to my xp machine... latest version of WinUAE... detected in bios, all good....

No icon on xp desktop, no icon on Workbench.

These legends of winuae being able to read Amiga drives...  pure myth?

I got nothing.


The drive is visible in the XP device manager, but that's all.  

What does IIRC mean? :-x

It's an Amiga formatted 124meg Seagate ST3144A... don't know what file-system...  wtf is and RDB IIRC?

XP is too busy keeping up appearances to allow an "unknown" drive on the desktop.

Computers.

I think I'm gonna scream.      :~(

There is no option to!

I checked "Add PC drives at startup"

and all other paths WinHD_X point to existing xp partitions.  It doesnt list or detect the Amiga drive.

can anyone validate the LATEST version of WinUAE (as of 18/11/03)??

I have version  0.8.8 release 8

is there a later one? websearch reveals too many locations professing to be the "home " of WinUAE...

I don't have that  "add hardDrive" button in my version of WinUAE... there is only add hardfile, and add directory.

Latest WinUAE release number anyone?

Hooray hooray hooray!! It freaking well works!!!





What does a checksum error mean and how do I fix it?

Just copying stuff across whilst loading Galaga (oops!) and then got a guru, mis copy... think this may have something to do with it...

have i just fried my drive or is there a diskdoctor equivalent on wb3.1?
