Hello fk0 Well, as I understand, after flipping through 11 pages :eek: what’s wrong even now... :mad: And I really wanted a holiday :confused: Gentlemen, maybe we can come to some kind of solution? or zx.pk.ru the place where Is it just good to scratch your tongues? :mad:

Hello jdigreze jdi> If everything is more or less clear with reading files, then writing files - jdi> the problem is quite non-trivial... it’s a pity of course :o but something more or less working or at least some developments are there any? :rolleyes:

Hello, breeze The cart is still there. Work on FAT16 support is underway, but at the moment, the residual principle. If everything is more or less clear with reading files, then writing files is a rather non-trivial task... There is an idea to make something similar to CD-WALK, but I won’t get my hopes up yet, because free time is tight...

Hello, breeze Unfortunately, there is nothing to show yet.

Hello, ^m00h^ Eh. back in 2000, I tried to work with IDE devices (now even I don’t remember the diagram, there’s a set of ports, just AP6 it seems) written by audio player CD and read/wrote by sector on the screw. But fat16 never got promoted, shut up on multiplying/dividing 4-byte numbers, I don’t remember why, but I need it. It's a pity that I didn’t convert all the floppy disks at one time, probably the majority of the sources gone missing :(

Hello Speccyfan There is almost no division there, and multiplications are “static” with constants 0x20, 0x200... But the additions are through the roof. I seem to have sorted out the recording. More detailed testing is needed. So far there are scattered procedures that still need to be put together ;)
