[Coco] CocoDskUtilPak Issues

[Kip Koon]

Luis,

I am looking at your 1.1.3a version of your wonderful program CocoDskUtilPak
v1.1.3 and I've found some issues.  When I look at Nitros-9 dsk files in DW4
format which are over 4MB in size, the numbers on the following lines seem
to overlap.  

 

Files:                      65948161,085,6661,232,896147,230  88.06%

Max:                      921618434,718,0804,718,080

Free:                     855713613,632,4143,485,184 FREE BYTES

 

Also when I try to create a new OS-9/Nitros-9 dsk image using the maximum
values, I get a runtime error '6' Overflow error, then runtime error '0',
then the program bombs out and closes.  I then reran the program this time
creating a new OS-9/Nitros-9 dsk image using the values 2 sides, 80 tracks,
18 sectors per tracks, Sectors Bytes 256, Interleave 6, First Sector 0 and
it seemed to run find, then I noticed that the directory display window pane
is DECB.  I try copying a file for OS-9/Nitros-9 from the Windows folder to
the directory window, and it treats it as a DECB file.  Just wanted to let
you know.  Try looking at a premade Nitros-9 dsk image file and look at the
display.  You might be surprised to see the results.  J  I know it is a beta
version, that is why I want to help you test this great program.  When it is
finished, it will be one of the best PC file <-> DECB, OS-9, Nitros9, etc.
image disk file exchange programs around.  What I see so far is great! Keep
up the good work.  With further investigation, I'm getting a lot of errors
with various Nitros-9 disk image files I've collected from the internet.
One dsk in particular is in the bootdisk folder of Virtual Hard Disk folder
of the virtualharddisk.zip file I believe it was.  Runtime error '5' and
immediately crashed and all I did was click on the emu_drv.dsk file - not
even a boot disk.  The size of the image file is only 158KB which is about
the right size for a SSDD OS-9 format disk image file.  Hummm, I really
thought that one was going to work properly.  Well, this is probably enough
for you to work on for the moment.  Please me know if you have any
questions.
