Hi Vincent,

Something strange happened with EmuTOS 0.9.2 ... It's no more
compatible with Teradesk 4.05, using TOS disk images like xa-my-aes.

I mean, if you simply drag and drop a file, to copy or move it,
on a VFAT disk image, Teradesk 4.05 does nothing. The file is
neither copied nor moved. Nothing happen.

I just wanted to transform the miniPack configuration, so that
you can boot under *TOS (not freeMiNT) eventually, so I had to
move files around. But with EmuTOS 0.9.2, it doesn't work ...

Something was broken with EmuTOS 0.9.2, dealing with VFAT disk
images. You can copy/move under HostFS, but not on the disk image.

I know that many peoples are not using disk images with ARAnyM,
but rather have a bootstrapped system (like AFROS). So, not
many peoples may have had such a problem, but with newest EmuTOS
the miniPack is definitively broken :-(

Please consider that the interest using a boot disk image, is
that TOS is not bootstrapped, and that it works with original 4.04.

This is freeMiNT 1.18 etc. with <http://eureka.atari.org/miniPack.zip>

Can you tell me more ?

Thanks,

Best regards,

Dear ARAnyM users,
EmuTOS 0.9.2 has been released.
The compatibility with fVDI has been fixed. This means that you can use
FVDI.PRG and ARANYM.SYS with plain EmuTOS to get a huge desktop with
32-bit pixels!

I have cross-posted my message to c.s.a.st because I always do
that to keep atarians informed about updates of miniPack.

I own a Falcon 030 and a Hades 060, the latter's configuration
being the inspiration to build miniPack. I would be curious if
other atarians would have noticed a problem with the VFAT disk
driver, like I noticed, updating the miniPack to EmuTOS 0.9.2.

Of course, the rest of the report is happening on ARAnyM's users list.

Please join us, you're welcome =)
