Hi all,
I don't know how large is the cbmlink userbase. It's my preferred mode
for CBM<->restoftheworld file transfers, since I still resist in using
SD-based disk emulators.
I use a parallel port "PC64" interface (painfully slow, but I can do
other things while I wait). Now, this setup works well with C64/1541
pair, in the sense that when I transfer a .d64 image to a real floppy,
it's written completely, including disk name, disk-id and BAM (all of
them live in 18,0).
The same setup on a 3032/3040 pair has one slight issue: original disk
name, disk id and BAM remain untouched when I transfer a .d64 image to
real floppy disk.
This is usually not a big problem, but the disk needs a VALIDATE
command after it has been transferred.
Does anyone understand why it happens?
