Re: SparcStation Core

... After booting the CD as shown above, the installer will fail because of a non formatted disk and drop you to a bash prompt. Format the disk with 259 cylinders, 2 alternate cylinders, 63 heads and 255 sectors per track. Label it and it should be ready to accept an OS. ...

Re: TinyLauncher for MiSTer (and fullscreen gaming).

I get a DOS Error #205 (object not found) on locking data, with everything I have tried.

We are meant to extract the lha files?

[edit-

I got it working. I had downloaded the wrong files, sorry :(

Re: PC88 Core

If you go to the retroplay-en listing on archive.org, you can get a zip file with all the fan translated PC-88 games. It's only 6 games, but it's a start. One of them is Mirrors, a crazy looking horror visual novel that was just recently translated. Another is Genesis, Square's first proper RPG title. There's also The Dragon & Princess, a very...

Re: PC88 Core

I am having no luck at all finding the disk.rom :( Think I've got versions of everything else.

Eventually found everything and a python script to bind it all together. Still not working very well. It boots into very blocky garbled text.

Re: Amiga Modem

You can use midilink.dir in your linux folder to make an easier phonebook. I had some problems with longer addresses.

I think the format is something like:

001 = mono.org

Then you just dial number 001 and it should take you to mono.org.

If I can get ripterm working I'll be delighted.

Thanks. I used the copy from Winworld. You'll need to type in the serial key from the download page.

I don't have the issue on word perfect 6 when I put it in graphics mode. I can use QModem Pro for my needs. RipTerm just looks prettier.

Acorn Archimedes: File transfer with PC

Hello,

Hopefully this question is not too simple.

What is the easiest way to transfer files between a host file system and the Acorn Archimedes core? I did try a DOS formatted floppy image but the core would not recognize it.

Thanks for any help.
