Ok I tried posting this on the facebook group and not sure people got
what my problem is so let me try here....
Ok need some help....
I bought my cable finally from Cloud 9.... and after determining that
the serial adapter from china was crap and went back to the one on my
docking station I sort of got drivewire 4 to work.... I say sort of...
here is the issue:
If I use hdbdos-20130922 and use the hdbdw4cc3 wave first when I cloadm
the wave says its actually hdbdw3cc3. But when I exec it says its
version 1.4 for the cc3.. so ok... have everything connected up have 4
floppy disk images loaded on DW4 on my server in slot 0 - 3 ...
Looking in the console for DW4 I get it saying there is garbage coming
over the wire.. and it prints the character... and I get an IO error on
the coco. So I go check the settings... (I used the wizard to set it up)
everything looks ok.. So then I reboot the coco.. and load hdbdw3cc3.
exec and then do a Dir... and I type DIR on the coco3 and for drive 0 I
get what is mounted in drive 0 on the server. When I switch to drive 1 -
3 and do a Dir I get nothing other than it is blank which is not the
case.. Right now I am just trying to load floppies not a hard drive
image. What ultimately I am trying to do is put a blank dsk file and
move all my 51/4" physical floppies over to the server and to virtual
floppies.
Now I go into DW4 and load the rom code from there.. its version 1.2 and
same result as above where only the Dir 0 works... but when I try to
load it gives me a file type error...
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would like to be able to back my floppies up to the server and also
get the stuff I have on the server as well.... what have I configured
wrong or am doing wrong?
Hopefully this is clear enough to understand what I am trying to do...
Chris
