[hatari-devel] Floppy access on TOS 4.x vs TOS 3.x

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


Hi,

maybe this is another of those not-so-obvious-until-you-know-about-it issues but I have been experiencing this for months now, maybe even years.

Basically, from time to time I need to create & use a floppy disk image (.st) even in Hatari, usually with some drivers or so. For simplicity let's assume I already have such an image.

Now, if I boot TT + TOS 3.06, I can read and execute everything from A:. However if I use the same floppy disk image in Falcon + TOS 4.04, I get an access error (unable to load file). And what's even stranger, it happens only to some files. Retry, switching fast-forward off, fast floppy access off... nothing helps. If I switch to TT + TOS 3.06, everything is fine again. So it must be something related to Falcon emulation.

As mentioned, this is not a new issue but seeing this today for like the 1000th time I have finally decided to report / ask about it, whether it is something known to anybody or whether it is just me again.
