Hi,

If you just want to test:
first compile libspectrum:
cd libspectrum
./configure --prefix=`pwd`
make
make install

than compile fuse:

cd ../fuse
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=../libspectrum/lib/pkgconfig
./configure
make

now you can run fuse from here:
./fuse

----

You can save any disk "image" as a "log" file to see what is on the disk, just save as any_name.log

The problem is that: you insert a double sided 80 track disk, TR-DOS format only side 0 (*) and fuse cannot save unformatted tracks into TRD image (side 1).

You have to select "Single-sided 80 track" drive (Options->Disk Options->Beta 128 Drive [ABCD]) before insert a "new" disk, because fuse when insert a new disk use the same disk geometry as the drive has.

* Very strange: TR-DOS format Side 0 track 0-79 and Side 1 track 0 (but no other tracks on side 1) with FORMAT "$"... hmm?

Cheers,
Gergely
