For the Backpack, when you save a file the Backpack needs to check to see if the file already exists. If you have a lot of files in the directory it will take a while to check all of them. The timeout on the REX is rather short so it gives up before the Backpack (or real drive I would guess) can respond. The work around is to save to a directory with few files. If you can increase the timeout on the REX it would probably solve the issue for it and the real drive.

Better than I thought! Dosbox is set up to run pretty slow, but my set up runs Desklink well on Windows 10, and also runs PDD.EXE, which is great. Backpack works for general use with REX#. Just the REX# utilities for rebuilding etc do not work. I'm not sure what makes Backpack unique in that sense. But it will probably work once I fix the TPDD1/TPDD2 interworking. Pretty sure I know what that is. I still rely on LaddieAlpha for building and testing REX#.
