Cross DOS replacement: MessyDOS or FAT95 ?
« on: April 09, 2008, 09:56:27 PM »
For the 1st time I've witnessed what seem to be serious bugs on CrossDOS (latest version). Some files are simply not saved, and 2 disks formated at 1.44Mb (the HD floppy on my A4000D ;))  either didn't finish formating or were simply unsable.

Which one of MessyDOS / FAT95 would you guys advice on speed/features/CPU overhead.

BTW, can't seem to be able to find any of them on Aminet ?!

No prob, I'll wait till Aminet is up and runing well again. I still haven't decided yet on which one to choose, waiting for some advice / comparisons...

@tenacious
Aminet is back and 1st thing I noticed is that MultiDos is way older than the others but very small code indeed. I think I'll give it a try with fat95.

@alexh

"Consultron's CrossDos is one of the only bits of software I actually bought (although thats probably not something to be proud of)"

Hell, why not ?:) I almost bought it too at the time. I'm gonna check out the floppies on a PC just to be sure. But they're Imation branded, so should last a bunch of years...

Well, turned out the more problematic floppy formated well under Win2K but there was a big delay on some part.. I haven't done extensive tests so don't know anything for sure. Cross should display a message when it can't format a disk completely though, and it didn't, it simple stoped at some point... Plus, when I was backing up some sources some files on that floppy disk just didn't copy over, even though there was absolutely no message saying the copy couldn't be done...
