Re: Verified copy of 6.1 now up on TTL

HAHAHA!

OK, found some notes from when I did it. Just to confirm that you can do it - I have a long text file all about the process of getting files to and from the 9100. I also have said listing file.

I've got a section at the end entitled "Making Life Easier - File Listing"

QUOTE

Using this method of transferring file, the process is a bit long winded if you want to transfer a bunch of files. I find it makes life easier if you have a file on the PC that lists all of the files on your 9100's hard drive.

And it then goes on to say…

<INSERT PROCESS TO GET THIS FILE HERE>

LOL!! So I clearly never bothered to add that bit in!

I'll dig a little deeper.

And yes, I realise this is for the HDD too but once I've remembered how I did it then you may just be able to replace /HDR with whatever it is for the floppy.
