Hi folks,
I constructed a XM1541 cable and I'll be dogged if I can get it to work. I have tried Star Commander and CBM4WIN under XP (on a Duron 950) and Star Commander under DOS on an old PS/2 486.
On the Duron:
Under Star Commander the drive light in constantly on.
Under CBM4WIN "instcbm --check" says no error, but "cbmctrl status 8" returns "99, driver error,00,00" & "AUnused = 0, ErrorCode = 2: The system cannot find the file specified. status." Also the command "cbmctrl reset" apparently works as the drive activity light comes on momentarily and goes out. (The only way to stop it after useing Star Commander.
On the 486:
Under Star Commander. No drive light at all.
I am stumped here and I desparatly want to get a few images to my very real C128D. Can anyone help?
By the way... The drive is a 1571 configured to device 8. And yes I've been through the readme files so many times I starting to loose my hair. :-(
Pffff, 'tis long ago when I juggled with that.
You need to check if you have the lpt settings correctly in your PC Bios (well, the 486's bios), iirc, or something with spp, epp or ecp, and then the spp option must be selected.
