Re: DWLOAD - DriveWire for everybody

Very tempting to ask you to boot Linux (from CD or USB stick if needed) to see how that works :p OR, much more satisfying, discover the cause of the problem :-) In desperation, I downloaded the DriveWire source code. This one line from the protocol handler gave me the clue I needed: int result = di...

Re: DWLOAD - DriveWire for everybody

Could it be a file permission issue on your PC? An excellent suggestion, but I don't think it's the problem. I'm able to access FLAP & AUTOLOAD.DWL using the BASIC program. I received a fine DriveWire adaptor and EPROM in the post today. Many thanks! It's the first time I've had a close look at you...

Re: DWLOAD - DriveWire for everybody

When I get some time I'll have a look at producing a test client. Hmmm... The very hacky program below successfully reads a text file from the PC into the emulated Dragon via a DriveWire virtual port. For this to work I don't think there can be much wrong with the way things are set up and yet the ...

Re: DWLOAD - DriveWire for everybody

Stew, those bytes are correct. The 01 is the mount opcode, 0xC is the length of the following name. So the xroar end of the connection looks clean then. It's leading me to believe that the 01 opcode is causing the server to crash. ("Handler #0 has died. RIP." in the log). Hopefully this is peculiar...

Re: Mixing two different graphic modes

Is this after clearing, there is a window where a new IRQ will not be acknowledged? Possibly because it takes that long to actually clear the output... I'll still have a Logic capture showing that somewhere, will consult when I get a mo. The more I think about this, the less I feel I understand it....

Re: DWLOAD - DriveWire for everybody

I've now had a chance to try it on a different system with the same result, even the DriveWire log gives very similar output. There's only one instance running according to DriveWire but I tried rebooting anyway just in case. I'm using xroar 0.32 on both systems (WinXP Pro 32 bit & Win7 Pro 64 bit) ...

Re: DWLOAD - DriveWire for everybody

In the DriveWire4 GUI there is a command line interface at the bottom of the window saying "Hint: You can enter DW commands here". In this field, type dw server status and it will print what version you have. It should be 4.3.3o, 4.3.3p or 4.3.4d. I get 4.3.3o I also managed to provoke this respons...

Re: DWLOAD - DriveWire for everybody

Hi pser1, thanks for the help, I'm still not having any luck... When I use the suggested command line: xroar -default-machine dragon64 -romlist d64_1=roms\d64-dwload-becker.rom -cart rsdos -cart-becker The Dragon freezes at the copyright message, presumably because of the lack of rsdos rom? If I res...

Re: DWLOAD - DriveWire for everybody

Has anybody else got DriveWire working with xroar under Windows?

I'm using the suggested command line for xroar, but after I type 'DLOAD', 'DWLOAD' appears and then nothing happens :?

The DriveWire server looks like it is working as I can see activity in the log when I connect with telnet.
