I too have had good fun using the Atom HD emulation, but agree that the system is limited to emulating the running environment (which admittedly is what SIM Coupe is for).
Why does BDOS work on a floppy by floppy basis? Is it some limitation with the SAM Coupe that stops you from having one big disk like on a PC? Luke -----Original Message----- From: Ian Spencer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 25 July 2002 15:52 To: [email protected] Subject: SimCoupé/Win32 beta 4 I've had great fun playing with the Atom disk facility of Simcoupe V090 Beta and BDOS1.5 seems to work just fine with the emulated ATOM. But as Simcoupe normally works with images anyway (.dsk) and they are switched into the virtual drives by mouse click there doesn't seem to be many real advantages to using .dsk's in an 'Atom environment'. The only advantage I can see is being able to switch from one disk to another with the 'Record' command from within a program, now that's really useful as I have some programs which need to extract data from a number of diskettes or .dsk images. Unfortunately the fact that BDOS doesn't support an integration with Masterbasic is a major minus for me as most of my programs make extensive use of Masterbasic commands. Does anyone know is there any plan to get BDOS working with Masterbasic or am I the only Sam programmer who uses Andy's super extensions.
