The great PC-Task thread

[Xanxi]

- Is it possible to enable network support in PCx or PC-Task?
- Can Crossdos mount the PC partition in a way that I can access the files on it on the Amiga side?

Network with PC-Task = no way, or you will have to make it over serial connection, if you have two serial ports on your amiga.

Crossdos= not required. Just use PCTCrossMount which is included with the PC-Task. This will mount your drive C as TCC: and your drive D as TDC: Actually, PCTCrossMount even works with hardfiles from Commodore Bredgeboards.


What do you mean about mounting the DOS installation disks?

Thanks Xanxi, will try this out asap. Mounting the DOS installation disks was faster than writing them on pc and using pc0:. First off, Windows 7 wasnt able to deal with 720kb disks, second, the DOS 6.x images are 1,44MB each. So I created a DOSDriver for the installation disks using Crossdos7, then entered the name of the DOSDriver as drive A: in PC-Task. Damn useful.

I see. This gave me the idea to use DiskImageGUI (available on aminet) to see if i could read PC floppy disk images from PCTask, and it works with IDF0. This method allows to swap disks on the fly. Just go back to the WB with LAmiga-M, switch the floppy in DiskImageGui, and go back to PC-Task. :-)

ofcourse! thats even better! thanks, will try this out myself

Thanks to you
I haven't thought of that myself so far.
It's great to see how we can benefit of other people ideas.
Feel free to tell us your next steps with PC-Task
