You could possibly use a symlink to achieve this.Caldor wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 9:27 am I was wondering whether maybe there could be a way to connect an Amiga disk? Say you use an SD or CF card in your real Amiga which is formatted with FFS or some other Amiga file system, could it be used with the Minimig core on the MiSTer like you can use it with WinUAE?
Code: Select all
ln -s /dev/??? /media/fat/Amiga/TEST.HDFNice. I did not know Symlinks could be links to virtual files as well and that the files could be pointing to drives.bbond007 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 5:00 pmYou could possibly use a symlink to achieve this.Caldor wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 9:27 am I was wondering whether maybe there could be a way to connect an Amiga disk?

"???" is the device assigned to the card reader.Code: Select all
ln -s /dev/??? /media/fat/Amiga/TEST.HDF
this does somewhat work (slowly) with USB floppy drives under ao486.
Rob Smith is starting work on the Amiga Floppy interface for MiSTer - it's working in WinUAE using a real floppy drive connected via USB (Via High speed serial port on Arduino) see more in this thread - viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1538&p=27770&hilit= ... b14#p27770Caldor wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 9:27 am I was wondering whether maybe there could be a way to connect an Amiga disk?

Yeah, I know. Amiga floppies are quite different. Should work with the AO486 core. There are two Amiga floppy projects I think, or at least one, and it even works, but the one making it wanted to design it to be easy to use, but unfortunately, the user-IO port on its own does not have enough signals it seems, to support a full Amiga floppy drive, so the way he got it to work used pins from the GPIO and the user-IO port if I understood it correctly.

I hope that will work. I have ordered a Greazeweasel so I can test this with WinUAE. I hope the WinUAE mod gets official support, as I think right now it only works with that one special modded version, so a few years from now, it might only work with that, by then, old version of WinUAE.
