Hi Dmitry, > I am using the cvs versoin, compiled on 2.6.16 linux and whenever I > try to access a floppy, I have a message box "Disc error 09 at > :4/00000C00" and a lot of messges on the terminal:
OK, the `:4' means drive 4 and RISC OS treats drives 0 to 3 as floppies, and 4 to 7 as hard drives. How do you know it's a floppy you're accessing? Are you in the Desktop? If so, the icon would have `:0' under it for drive 0. If you have a `*' command line prompt, which you get with F12 in the Desktop, then the command `cat :0' would catalogue drive 0 IIRC. Type `help cat' for more. > 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. See http://arcem.sourceforge.net/manual.html#HDimages The error messages could do with a lot of improving. The image file for RISC OS drive 4 is `HardImage0', confusingly, because it's the first hard drive. > I have a file HDFORMAT.ADF, downloaded from arcem site, in the working > directory of the emulator, symlinked to FloppyImage0. OK, although if you get one of the pre-formatted for RISC OS hard drive images from http://arcem.sourceforge.net/index.html#downloads then you shouldn't need to format it. > ROM Image is from support2.zip file. RISC OS 3.11 IIRC. > Anyone knows how to resolve this? Hope this is some help. The developers' list has people on it that know these answers. The users' list is even more quiet and I think I'm the only one here to answer. https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/arcem-devel > PS.
