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
:4/0C00 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.
ah, after playing around a bit, I found out that you can increase the
number of floppies in the Configure program. I thought that I
accessed a floppy when I clicked on this :4 icon!
btw, the arcem 1.0 runs so fast on my machine that I cannot even type
anything on the command line prompt, i get ccaaatt
instead of cat :) This is resolved in the current cvs version
though.

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.
In fact, I am using the blank hd image downloaded from arcem site (the
20mb one) and I have the following lines in acemrc
MFM disc
1 612 4 32 256
But I still get this error message (Disc error 09 at :4/0C00).
PS. I am no Acorn user, I am playing with the emulator to get ArcElite
running :)
My Elite playing was on a BBC Master. :-)
Well, to be honest I only played Elite on a ZX Spectrum, but I was
seduced by the rumor that ArcElite is the best Elite version ever :)
