Hallo allemaal,
I ran into a bug in JiffyDOS. I told you about the problems I had with
copying sequential files. The source file had sectors, each filled with
A's, B's, C's etc. After the creation (or copying) of the file I was
missing one sector every time. After spending some hours looking for what
caused the problem, I tried my program on a real 1541-II. Surprise, same
problem! The only thing you have to do to see what I mean is to write (a
multple of) 254 bytes to a sequential file. Now add the number of blocks
occupied by the files and the number of free blocks: you will have one
short.
FYI: this 1541-II has no way to switch to the original DOS, so I couldn't
test if it is just a bug in JiffyDOS or a bug that originates from the
original DOS.
But I cannot imagine that I'm the first person in xx years encountering
this problem. Is this a known bug or not?
