StarCommander with WinXP
hi,
can anybody explain me how to use the StarCommander with my
XE1541 cable under WindowsXP? I already have this TweakPackage for the SC, but it will not work. under "DOS" it works fine, but it´s quite inefficient.
cheers

As far as I know, you need a XM1541 or a XA1541 Cable to run SC under running XP.
XE1541 worked fine for me but only in XP Dos Mode on an old 800mhz AMD.. |

Hi Chico.
I asked a similar question two years ago and the answer I got was that SC isn't compatible with WinXP, because WinXp isn't based on the DOS kernal, disallowing access to parallel/serial ports.
A better one to use is CBM4WIN: http://www.trikaliotis.net/cbm4win download 0.4.0
also get the GUI for cbm4win here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=122047
Usefull if you're just wanting to insert/extract prg files from real disks, but it won't allow to actually edit a .d64 image as SC does.
EDIT: or what Sinalco said. :) |

Otherwise: RTFM ;-)
Which is short for: read the 'readme' in the StarCommander Windows NT/2000/XP tweak package on the page of the current beta release of The Star Commander.
But this same page also says:
WARNING: You should rather make the Commander use the OpenCBM driver from opencbm/cbm4win (0.4.0 or above) to access Commodore drives under Windows NT4/2000/XP/2003; that works much better than using this package! Read the documentation for more information. |

if u want to edit a d64 image use D64Editor
if you cant find this program let me know and ill mail you it or anyone else for that matter...
with this program you can edit a complete d64.....delete files,,extract files,,,add files etc......basically anything you want to do with a d64........
but u cant use it to transferr to and from a 1541......
edit the d64 etc and then use cbm4win with the gui as its much easier |

@Mace: RTFM ...what does the F stand for??? I can´t figure it out ;)
yes, I read the manual, but I can´t start the giveio-driver. it comes along with an error message. and if I really have the wrong cable and Sinalco is right, it can´t work. in the manual stand nothing ´bout what cable I need.
@conrad: ok, thanx for the links, I think I will try this CBM4Win, but I remember I already did in the past and it did not work.
@maestro: I always use the D64-editor, it´s a great tool, but it does not solve my problem.
thanx guys, I will try on...

Convert your XE1541 cable to an XM1541 cable simply by swapping pins 5 and 6 in the DIN plug |

I ordered a XM cable, maybe I will be able to work with it under WinXP & SC, but at least with the CMB4WIN.
thanx all for your help :)
