After a quick fiddle as far as I can see the above syntax has no effect. By default the Mac RPCEmu uses the hostfs directory within the Data Directory as its hard drive. If that directory is empty, as it is by default, then there will be an error on startup caused by the absence of any !Boot but the empty drive can be accessed without error. > > > Has anyone had hostfs working correctly on macosx? > > > > Working very well here on Mac OS X 10.6.7, with either OS4.04 or OS5.17 > > in two Data Directories. > > > > As I recall, or not, there was an initial error with the HostFS podule > > ROMs. the right ones are files datestamped September 2010 rather than > > December 2009 here, and were downloaded separately.

My recall was not completely accurate, the current downloads do contain the correct HostFS modules, only the very first download was afflicted. http://www.devrx.org/software/rpcemu/rpcemu-spoon-0.8.8-fjd2-bin.zip http://www.devrx.org/software/rpcemu/rpcemu-spoon-fjd-2011-01-04.zip The current podule roms are available separately ar :- http://www.devrx.org/software/rpcemu/rpcemu-poduleroms-0.8.8.zip >From within RISC OS the modules are RPCEmuHostFS 0.07 RPCEmuHostFSFiler 0.03 If you like you can zip me the Data Directory, maybe I can spot something. -- David Pitt _______________________________________________ Rpcemu mailing list [email protected] http://www.riscos.info/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rpcemu
