[hatari-devel] Handling of _drvbits

[ Thread Index | Date Index | More lists.tuxfamily.org/hatari-devel Archives ]


Hi,

I assume what I am asking for cannot be changed, but I thought I would at
least ask: Is it possible that Hatari sets the bits for the GEMDOS drives in
_drvbits earlier, before TOS bootstraps the hard disk driver?

Usually I launch HDDRIVER.PRG from a GEMDOS drive. I have HDDRIVER's
"Preserve existing drive IDs" option enabled, so that the IDs assigned by
the driver do not replace the GEMDOS drive IDs. This is convenient because
regardless of the drive images present the GEMDOS drive ID assignments are
always the same.

When I boot HDDRIVER.SYS from a drive image, this option does not work, i.e.
HDDRIVER assigns IDs starting with C:, so that the GEMDOS drives are replaced.
I guess this is because at boot time _drvbits is still empty. Can you confirm
this, and can this be changed?

Best regards

Uwe
