uIEC/SD for Morons

[brain]

Thank you,

Just to be sure, the new firmware file to download for your uIEC3 is:
sd2iec-0.8.3-uIEC3-m1281.zip right ?

Yes, there will be a "bin" file in the src/ directory.

Sorry for the lame question but I don't find this specific info on the firmware wiki...

A last question, how to know the installed firmware version ?

Either immediately after bootup, or after sending a "uj" command to the drive, read the error channel.

I just got that part I needed for my uIEC. It's on!

I never thought this would be a problem, but with my frequent insomnia, I'm making more games than VIC users have time to play. I even have a backlog now. I don't feel like even uploading them myself.

Yay!

Save the harness. If you come to another ECCC, bring you're 64 or VIC and we'll solder it inside so you can have an internal uIEC option later...

I can change directory fine with

OPEN 1,10,15,"CD:VIC"

this works fine and I can see my directory with load"$",10

How do I load something from ADMAN.D64 in this directory or in the root?

OPEN 1,10,15,"CD:ADMAN.D64":close 1 does not work

What do I need to do?

[brain]

Check the error channel. Your syntax looks fine. Maybe the D64 image is corrupt?

Jim

[Vic20-Ian]

how?

[brain]

10 open 1,10,15
20 input a,b,c$,d
30 print a,b,c$,d
40 close1

I ran that with 1,2,qw,3 and the same came back?

Should I be doing something else?

Hi Ian

Your command to mount the .d64 image is correct. I do same in FE3 firmware.

Is ADMAN.D64 written in capital letters on your SD?

[Vic20-Ian]

yes I think so.

tried sd card in fe3 and cannot get diskloader to work or @ status to report either

10 open 1,10,15
20 input a,b,c$,d
30 print a,b,c$,d
40 close1

Jim actually means:
20 input#1,a,b,c$,d

Try the file name with shifted letters?

[Vic20-Ian]

sorry Carlsson, Brain, still as clear as mud to me.

[Diddl]

Ian please enter following code

Code: Select all

10 open 1,10,15
20 input#1,a,b,c$,d
30 print a,b,c$,d
40 close1

and do a run. you will see µIEC status and maybe an error message which helps us to find the problem.

[Vic20-Ian]

I get ?file data error in 20

whether on FE3 or on uIEC with same SD card.

I will try formatting it.

[Mike]

Since the error channel normally reports in that format:

00, OK, 00, 00

... the correct version of the program above is:

Code: Select all

10 OPEN 15,10,15
20 INPUT#15,A,B$,C,D
30 PRINT A,B$,C,D
40 CLOSE 15

a variant of this being:

Code: Select all

10 OPEN15,10,15
20 GET#15,A$:PRINTA$;:IFST=0THEN20
30 CLOSE15

which prints the whole string nicely separated with commas.

The ?FILE DATA error is not from the drive, but from the programs above.

Try loading the directory with LOAD"$",10 where the *.d64 resides in, and then try to change into the *.d64 using exactly the characters shown within the directory.
