Test, test, is this thing on? (Thanks for all the test replies, I'm really not clueless, it just didn't work at all last night.)
Hi,
I got an A1000 the other day for free. It's got a load of disks, 512k, starboard2 w/2MB, ext. 3.5, ext 5.25. I fixed a bunch of keys on the keyboard.
Anyway, some of the disks are sketchy.
Can I make a copy of the kickstart disk with 'DISKCOPY'? (I'm not sure if it's any different than any other disk).
If so, can I use 3.5 HD disks? I tried and got a 'bad sector number' error. Do I need to explicitly format them first?
One other question. I was playing Marble Madness as a first test of the system. It worked fine, but I couldn't 'quit'. Do most games just require a reboot when you're done playing?
I used to have a c-64 with 1541, right when they came out. It's fun to be getting back into it (I also got a c-128 with 1571 for free. They're used, but still in the original boxes.)
Thanks for any help. I hope I'll be able to contribute shortly. (If you need to know how to fix stuck or non-functional A1000 keys, let me know :-D ).
