That's what I thought. I've just tried again this evening with EmuFS and RPCEmu compiled from the riscos.info reporsitory from about March 2009. I mounted the Iyonix's drive via NFS on the Ubuntu machine. cd ls iyonix/ This lists the files on the root of the Iyonix's hard drive. Then I start RPCEmu and open a drive labelled Home, which is a read-only view into my Linux home directory. The folder "iyonix" appears there, but when I open it EmuFS shows it as empty. I will try to download the Spoon edition in due course and compare its current behaviour. -- Matthew Phillips Dundee _______________________________________________ Rpcemu mailing list [email protected] http://www.riscos.info/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rpcemu
