ah, after playing around a bit, I found out that you can "increase the number of floppies" in the Configure program. I thought that I accessed a floppy when I clicked on this ":4" icon! btw, the arcem 1.0 runs so fast on my machine that I cannot even type anything on the command line prompt, i get "ccccccaaaaaaatttttttttt" instead of "cat" :) This is resolved in the current cvs version though. > > Seek - cylinder address greater than configured (=0) > > Read data command exiting due to failed file seek > > Seek - cylinder address greater than configured (=0) > > Read data command exiting due to failed file seek > > Seek - cylinder address greater than configured (=5) > > Seek - cylinder address greater than configured (=0) > > Read data command exiting due to failed file seek > > This suggests the hard disc image file for drive 4 is a different size > to what's configured in the arcemrc file.
