Hi,

Since the latest firmware I'm getting more excited about sio2usb. It is getting better and better, and I'm very happy I still have my three sio2usb devices here

But I think there is a bug in the shell program.

when I delete a diskimage with the DEL command, everything works fine.

But when i delete another one... it hangs and does not respond anymore to anything. I have to reboot, and I can delete again... ONE atr.

Is this a known issue?

Thanks
Marius

Hi,

yes this is a known bug, but it should me mended by now. Which version do you use?

My version is 1.10...

Hello,

I looked it up in our ToDo List. It was an issue, fixed in 1.11. The next release is 1.20, release early next year. Till then, please use DEL only once with every start of the shell.

Technical mumbojumbo: a string is DIMmed 1 byte too short and the clearing of that string early in the routine deletes the first command byte, so that in the second call of that routine there is no working 1st command byte. I always have difficulties in counting from "0 to n" or "1 to n+1" or "1 to n" or "0 to n-1" Gets me every time.

Thanks for your lightning-fast answer, really appreciated.

Good to know it is a bug, and even fixed in upcoming releas(es).

I thought I did something wrong

By the way, do you know a way to sort my directory on the usb stick?
Is it possible with sio2usb itself? Or do I need a tool on PC... or even better: on my mac.

Of course a software-sort would be possible, but that might be slow. I would love to hard-sort the entries on the stick itself.

Oops. I already see there is another thread about my last question.

If I understand Florian's message correctly, the bug is already fixed. All you need to do is get version 1.11.

Hi,

version 1.11 is not available.

1.11 is an "developer internal version" only for beta testing. There's more to come in version 1.20, due early next year. 1.20 will be release to public.

Sorry for the inconvenience until then.

Regads,
Florian

Hello,

here is what you can expect in Version 1.15 of the Shell software

-DELete problem fixed

-DIR now shows 22 entries (1 screen full) and then waits for a keypress to go on with the next 22 entries; you can always stop the DIR command by pressing Esc

-DIL (=DIR long) shows long filenames

-MOUnt now accepts wildcards, so you can for example type MOU GAM*.* 2 and the shell prompts you "TYPE [Y] TO MOUNT GAMES01.ATR" If you dont press [Y] the shell finds the next matching entry and prompts you again.

-some invisible internal cleanup

Available soon.

Regards,
Florian

Will it also be possible to copy *.atr ?

Sometimes I want to copy everything from my USB stick to the internal memory of the Sio2USB. That takes a long time when I have to copy them manually...

Thanks
Marius

COPY *.* and maybe even MOVE *.* are on the list for the future, I hope i can implement that without too much effort. I wont/cant promise, though.
