Einstein RS232 TO PC Serial Cable wanted!   Message List

Re: Einstein RS232 TO PC Serial Cable wanted!

Hi Geoff and other members!

Well, success at last. I had another bash at connecting my 3" Einstein
drive to my PC, changing the jumper settings to DS0 and MI
respectfully, and it read my disks perfectly. The BIOS settings in my
computer only allow me to set the floppy disk A: as low as 720k, but
changing the jumper settings did the trick!

I have another problem that I don't understand. Any .XBS Einstein
files I transfer over to disk image load perfectly in the MESS
emulator. However any .COM files I transfer just fail to load, the
emulator screen just goes black once I type in the filename via MESS.

I know others have successfully managed to transfer .COM files
successfully to disk image that load via MESS... what am I doing wrong
:) I have tried game after game and any that happen to be .COM just
fail to load.

I just feel it's something obvious!

Hi Mario, The computer speed shouldn't be a problem when using the XP software. It is an issue with older software like CPDRead. ... It doesn't matter which...

Hi Mario, If you can run .XBS files then you must be able to run some .COM files because that's how BASIC loads, from a .COM file. Are you booting from the...
