Copy Disk with uIEC

[Jeff-20]

I've been using the wonderful Megacart's Copy Disk utility. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to copy a whole disk to SD folder (1541 --> uIEC) or reverse.

I thought there may have been a thread about this in the past, but I can't find it now. Does anyone know to copy whole disks using uIEC?

With Wedge I do the following.

@C:newdisk.d64=blank.d64

I guess there must be similar command referencing drive 8 then drive 9 or 10 but you might need a low level program to read the whole drive image.

See the thread I asked to be made a sticky but which was declined by those who already know all in this regard.

Yes, Disc Copier it's a my simple basic program but works pretty well, with SJLOAD speed-up too.

Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to copy a whole disk to SD folder (1541 --> uIEC) or reverse.

Use option 4 1541->D64

It asks for source disk number (tipically 8 ) and target disk number (your uIEC) then asks for the file name (IMAGE.D64 proposed)

Confirm and it does the job.

For the opposite operation use option 7 D64->1541


Very simple and fast

I've used a program called D64IT to copy .d64 images to real floppies and vice versa.
Unfortunately it's written for the C64, but, I found this old thread here on DENIAL, where a member attempted to create a VIC version of D64IT.

Once you have the .d64 on the SD card, you can use DirMaster: http://style64.org/release/dirmaster-v2.2-style to transfer the files to a folder.

Oh, cool! I wanted a bunch of PRGs as output, but I guess I can just use D64 editor to get that. I've never used that program, and it is an extra step. But I think that's the only solution.

I guess I want a program that will allow me to copy one file at a time. I have plenty of disks that only have one or two programs I want to save. It's a waste of time and energy to copy the whole D64. That would be a great feature in File Browser!

For that purpose you may use CBM-Command from your Mega-Cart (Utilities section).

I'm still discovering new features in the MegaCart! Thanks!

Do you know the code used for copying a file? Is it in Machine Language? I've tried to do it in BASIC a long time ago, but I had no success. I'm curious to know how it copies a file from one disk to another so quickly.

Sources are in C++, the C compiler generates the ASM code for CC65 so the result is pure assembler.

This is a special version that plbyrd (the author) made for Mega-Cart, I've just updated it to use SJLOAD to speedup disk operations, this is the reason why it's so quick.

Is or is not a MEGA-cart ?
