Problem transferring discs to d64/PC
Maybe you can help me/us.. Some week ago weasel and i were trying to transfer stuff from my discs to D64/PC. It took us quite a while to get Warpcopy64 + 1541UI running actually. First the codenet program didn't start because of not finding the ethernet stuff from the 1541U1. We fixed that by using SoundDemon's TASS Cartridge.
Now we have the problem, that we have to switch off the floppy after each warpcopy of one disc(side). Because if we continue without switching off the floppy it will produce errors after errors on each read. So we transfer one side warp, switch off the drive, change disc(side), switch on the drive, transfer the other disc(side, switch off the drive....
Is this a known bug? Is there a way to avoid switching off the floppy after each read? Normal transfer is just too slow.. ^^ |

*g* waited for that one. ;)
thanks for that, but i'd rather like to do that myself.
and there's still so much to xfer at weasel's place, so that we need to figure out what's the problem there.. :/
we changed to c128 to a c64, and the floppies from a 1541-I to a 1541-II, but it didn't change a thing.
the pc's running win7 and the 1541UI and pc a linked together via a switch. |

i actually can't pinpoint the problem. the first side reads normally, after you change sides the software reads like 5 tracks then repeadedly throws bad blocks. different disks, different drives, different commies..
does warpcopy push routines to the drive? as said, after you off-on the drive all works fine a for side.
with normal transfer all works ok it seems, but who wants to transfer stuff using normal speed?
seems like i need to get weasel dig up some xp masters.. |

Can't help, but FYI I've never managed to get WarpCopy to work with my 1541C. It always complains about read errors on known to be good disk, or crashes halfway through, or ... Why not use one of those XE1541 cables and connect the drive directly to the PC instead? |

Oh, since you are using a 1541U, I assume you have disabled everything except the ethernet and cart? I.e. no drive at unit 9 or similar? |

i don't know if weasel's PC still got some parallel port, i doubt it actually..
yes just a plain c128/c64 with a drive connected and 1541 with soundemons TASS rom (for builtin codenet).
weasel told me the last time he used xp and the commodore always hung up when an error occured.
to me this whole warpcopy thing sounds pretty unstable, but seems to work really good when it works..?! ^^
problem ist, that most software on pc doesn't support autonaming of transferred discs. always changing filename by hand when tranferring more discs on a go is no option.
i pretty much wonder, why 1541U doesn't have something implemented for fast and automatic copy/transfer from 1541 -> sd-card/d64.. |

Yes, I am waiting for that option as well (and the other way around). I guess there are still too many small bugs to be fixed, before added functionality is tackled. But I am sure patience pays, especially as the 1541 Ultimate project is generally very well maintaines and supported! |

Try to ask on the forum for 1541U - im sure I recall some
problems with 1541U and WarpCopy... but well I never tried
WarpCopy with my 1541U1 myself as WarpCopy and RR+NET is
working so great.
So hunt the forum of 1541U or ask the question there aswell.
