... here's d81trans (download). Assuming the SD2IEC drive is device 8, and the 1581 drive is device 9, the user shall proceed as follows:Mike wrote:If anyone else needs assistance for transferring *.d81 files to 3 1/2" disks for the 1581, and both a SD2IEC and the 1581 are available, I can whip up a transfer program in a spare hour. [...]
- copy "d81trans.prg", "bible3.d81" and "pentateuch.d81" into the root directory of a SD card,
- on the VIC-20, check with LOAD"$",8 and LIST, that all three file names appear with uppercase letters and with PRG file type (that one to the left, outside quotes!),
- format the 3 1/2" disk in drive 9 with OPEN15,9,15,"N0:NAME,ID":CLOSE15 and finally
- start d81trans with LOAD"D81TRANS.PRG",8 and RUN.
Code: Select all
SRC DEV.? 8
FILE? BIBLE3.D81 (or PENTATEUCH.D81 for the second disk)
DST DEV.? 9
FILE? # (<- given as default prompt)
Please check beforehand, that SD2IEC and 1581(-type drive) actually work when both are connected to the VIC-20 and are switched on - I am noting this because some cheap SD2IEC devices are missing necessary bus amplifiers and only work on their own on the IEC bus!
