#5 Drive number confusion - off-by-one
It seems that the first ST506 hard disk (drive :4 in
RISC OS) is HardImage1 and the second is HardImage2.
But I had expected HardImage0 to be the first disk.
This is my .arcemrc:
MFM disc
1 1024 8 32 256
MFM disc
2 1024 8 32 256
I have downloaded the 64 meg RISC OS image from the
website and copied it to HardImage1 and HardImage2. On
starting, arcem makes these drives '1' and '2'. In
RISC OS they are drives :4 and :5.
- What happens to arcem's drive 0? I started off
configuring arcem with MFM disc 0 but was surprised
that it didn't work as drive :4 in RISC OS.
- If arcem supports up to four MFM discs, is it
possible to access them from RISC OS?
