Hello all..

(I have bad grammars, sorry) :roll:


I have my Atari 800XL with Internal MYIDE interface installed.

I use 40GB HDD IDE.

I setup partations, formatted, installed DOS for boot.

Bootable on IDE HDD worked fine.
I use:
D1: is HDD for bootable
D2: is Happy 1050 for floppy
D8: is HDD for data.
I see 63530 Free Sectors on D8:

I copied D2:*.* to D8:*.* it worked..
I use 4th floppy disks to copy then stopped at Error 163, I unable to copy to D8: anymore, but I can see Dirs and I can load games but can't write anymore.

So I decided to create another to D7: and can be copies files from floppy to D7: again stopped at error 163.

I checked D8 and D7 left sectors are 61330 both are the same.

Why?
limit filenames numbers?



My goal is copies ALL floppies into one HDD. I have over 600 games saved since 1980, had Atari 800.

Thanks!

maximum is 64 files in a DIR.

You should make SUBDIR's (for example mydos) and copy
your files in the correct SUBDIR.

example:
\GAMES\A\ all games starting with A
\GAMES\B\ all games with B
\APPS\ all applications
\DOC\ your documents

etc. etc.

Cheers,
Sijmen.

This is a limitation of MyDOS, not the firmware, sorry.
