e-uae and real hard drives

[Mark]

I had to recheck the dates in this thread.  Why use 0.8.28?  E-UAE 0.8.29-WIP has been available since 2006.

In any event, I haven't done it myself but it should be as easy as adding a line or two to your .uaerc file and changing permissions for the device in /dev.  For example:

Code: [Select]


hardfile2=rw,:/dev/hdb,0,0,0,512,0,
hardfile=rw,0,0,0,512,/dev/hdb



And then, assuming /dev is dynamically populated by udev, for your /etc/udev/rules.d/*permissions.rules file:

Code: [Select]


# You are in the "mark" group, right?  :-)
KERNEL=="hdb",            MODE="0660",    GROUP="mark"



If you've already tried that sort of thing without success, then I'd suggest upgrading to 0.8.29-WIP4 and trying again.

Sorry, I don't use OSX but does E-UAE have adequate permission to read and write  /dev/rdisk1?
