Workbenc 2.05 help

[baz136]

I, I have recently got a working backup of workbench 2.05 (thanks a1200) my original discs were screwed. Anyway, I also had crossdos on another workbench disk and found out it was a 3.00 version of workbench. Now I was wondering is it possible to use some crazy way to get atleast the doss driver on the 2.05 disc or even write an adf to a floppy? I heard of some amiga basic code you could write to do this, is there an easier way?

Very nice Is there another way (free) to do this? I found a java floppy disc reader but not writer. I just need to transfer 1 file, seems a bit of a waste lol

thank you the disc with crossdos is corrupt, read errors etc

I don't fully understand what your problem is. You want CrossDOS and you say that you have CrossDOS on "another workbench disk". So why don't you just use it ?

If you miss the PC0 dos driver, here it is:

Code: [Select]


/* $VER: PC0 40.1 (31.8.93)
 *
 * CrossDOS file system entry
 *
 * This file enables CrossDOS on the built-in floppy drive normally
 * referred to as DF0:. PC1 does the same for DF1. By creating new versions
 * of this file and changing the Unit line to use other numbers, you can
 * make CrossDOS available on other devices. For example, changing the value
 * of Unit to 2 would create a mount file that would enable CrossDOS on DF2.
 */

FileSystem = L:CrossDOSFileSystem
Device = mfm.device
Flags = 1
Surfaces = 2
SectorsPerTrack = 9
SectorSize = 512
Reserved = 1
Interleave = 0
LowCyl = 0
HighCyl = 79
Buffers = 5
BufMemType = 0
StackSize = 600
Priority = 10
GlobVec = -1
DosType = 0x4D534400

/* The Unit field is controlled by tooltypes in the PC0 icon.
 *
 * Unit = 0
 */


Bye,

I'm trying to get this to work but I dont know how. I used 'ed' to create the file, But when I double click on the PC0 file i created it does not execute. Im using Workbench 2.05. The screen flashes black with the error at the top saying that there is no execute program or what ever it says when there is not a program to run the file. Any ideas?

Thanks
