Re: ADFFS behaviour if JFD filetype not set
I can probably do that for JFD, but not for ADF as there's no way to validate it. I'd certainly appreciate it for JFDs, it would be helpful for me on old RISC OS hardware too. DOSMap does that, your problem is particular to HostFS on Arculator, which doesn't provide taylored filetype mapping. I per...

Re: ADFFS behaviour if JFD filetype not set
The archive ZIP's are created on a PC, so there's no embedded RISC OS filetypes. I don't believe Arculator translates DOS filetypes between Windows and RISC OS, so you'd need to either rename them as ",ffd" on the PC side or set them to "Floppy" on the RISC OS side. Thanks Jon, ...

ADFFS behaviour if JFD filetype not set
Hi Jon, Downloading the JASPP zip files for Cannon Fodder and Lemmings the other day to play on Arculator RISC OS 3.1 I found the ADFFS behaviour with the disk images a little odd and recalled I've felt similarly previously. The disk images both uncompressed as &FFD type data files using SparkFS...

Re: Partition Manager feedback
Jon, I'm playing around with soft-loaded Wizzo IDEFS on a floppy to access CF cards, I've tried one previously formatted with !Hform with a single partition and another formatted with 4 partitions with !IDEFormat from ICS tools (from http://chrisacorns.computinghistory.org.uk/Software.html#I) on my ...

Re: Partition Manager feedback
v0.88 seems to work well for me.
Minor issue but if you accidentally run it in debug mode in a read-only folder (e.g. if you hadn't remembered to use r/w SparkFS) then it hangs horribly until you Alt-Break out.

Re: Partition Manager feedback
I've attached screenshot and debug log from the Pi. Also attached where I made modifications on line 5 of !RunImage and 107-109 of the wimp library to force it into debug mode if Alt key is held down on startup and show that in the Window title. If you wanted to add that to your codebase would save ...

Re: Partition Manager feedback
When I tried v0.86 on my A5000 with just a CF-IDE adapter attached to the IDE port on the motherboard (no podules) running RISC OS 3.1 I got No supported file systems found and it quit. The machine had no other drives or floppy drive fitted, just the one CF card configured as an IDE drive happily mo...

Re: Partition Manager feedback
Not sure if it's intended to cover this scope yet but accessing a Compact Flash card via a USB card reader on my Raspberrry Pi, that has an existing single Filecore partition I created with HForm on Risc PC running RISC OS 3.7, shows up as partition format <unknown> on v0.85. The Pi seems to be able...

Re: Partition Manager feedback
The README that comes with FAT32FS covers mounting partitions, but to mount the 3rd partition (the p3) on SDFS:0 (the :16) you'd need: fat32fs:mount -sfp3 :16 That works beautifully, thanks Jon! Was able to happily create and reformat the FAT partition on the RPi SD card, mount it & use it imme...
