Cumana disk system

[zephyr]

Does anyone have in their possession a Cumana disk controller with Cumana DOS V2.0?

BTW, don't worry, I'm not trying to buy it from you.

I have a cumana disk controler. I shall look it up as its at my parents place. Do you need the rom image?

[zephyr]

Yes, that's exactly what I need.

Long time ago that I booted everything. What poke did I need so the cartridge wouldn't load automatically? I remember also to csavem from adres x to y, z

Do you have the params?

[Gestel]

If I can boot stuff I certainly will check all the disks. They still were working in 2002

The following params will save a copy of the entire cartridge area from $C000 TO $FEFF. You shouldn't need to disable DOS for this to be successful, but if you do have any problems, use Steve Woolham's Cartridge Detach program to disable DOS first.

In the mean time I found this between my stuff. Is it working/helpfull?

[sixxie]

It certainly triggered a subtle coding bug in my FDC code: now fixed, so thanks!

Edit: Possible Windows build available here: http://www.6809.org.uk/tmp/da/xroar-0.2 ... dows32.zip - sorry, it's completely untested even in Wine, as it seems the NVidia 32-bit compat libs are currently broken in Debian testing.

I once downloaded it. Never tried wether it was working. So if isn't working I always can put the original (in my possession) rom on CAS/DGN

[Gestel]

For the record:I'm using XP

If I rename CumanaDos2.dgn to one of the standardnames of the manual eg: DDOS10.DGN and copy that to the directory of Xroar-0.23pre2-Windows32; the Cumana DOS v2.0 starts Ok!

One of the things I will have to do is make a copy of the cumana dos manuals!

Nice!!
