1541 drive and Win XP
Ok I'm going nuts here. I'm trying to acces my 1541 drive with star commander under win xp. but I can't. I have unzipped the special drivers supposedly for win xp/2000/nt and there's one driver called user port. So I've followed the manual, copied the .sys file into the system32\drivers folder. I start the executable program and plunch in the driver details they want (port range), I start the driver and it says ok. No problems here. I go to a command prompt and type in the debug \\.\giveio command and I just leave it like that. I start up the Star Commander, but it just freezes. Do I have to wait a little longer or what can I do? I thank you in advance for helping me out! |

Tried playing around with it tonight but it needs a code - one that was going to send to me by email but not today I'm afraid :Z |

Ok, this is what i did to make starcommander work under WindowsXP SP2 with an XM1541 cable:
- downloaded the latest beta of starcommander
- downloaded the xp-tweak package and installed the userport-driver
(and configured it the ways readme.txt said i had to do it)
- changed the properties of "sc.exe": I sat the Misc->IdleSensitivity to Low.
(so sc will steal all the rastertime ;))
- I went into Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Computer Management->Device Manager->Ports(COM&LPT). In the properties for the LPT port i went to "Port Settings" and marked "Enable legacy Plug and Play detection".
- In the "Drive options" i sat "Command Exec Mode" to Warp.
- In the "Transfer options" i sat the settings to match my system.
(in particular: "TransferMode"=Warp, "ParallelCable"=None, "Async transfer"=Auto, "Manual Timeouts"=NO, "Delay Value"=0, "Detect port modes"=None)
- (my parallel-port was set to the right mode in the BIOS so no problem there)
I don't know if i'm just lucky and it works. It took some time to test if it worked, and search through the docs because it didn't etc, so maybe you're just missing a setting or something if you can't get it to work. Dunno if i'm one of the 2/100, but maybe this will help someone. |
