Subject: PC to BBC transfer and ERRATA

Hi to all and to Jonathan. 

I have only just completed a copy of 13 of John's latest GoMMC
files from PC to BBC today  using the DOSFS & co-pro method.
The transfer was to my external floppy B: drive, a SONY USB 
MPF82E-U1, an attractive, very slim and compact 3.5 inch unit
attached to my PC with a USB 2.0 connection. Cost $80 AUD
3 years ago.

To contine from this point, one must have installed the DOSFS 
ROM in an suitable BBC range of microcomputers, preferrably 
fitted with an ARM7 co-pro. I formatted a 720Kb DOS 3.5 inch 
diskette with DOSFS before starting the transfer this am.

Now select the directory to where John's files have been extracted 
and simply drag MMCUP, or all 13 files onto PC drive B:.

Next, transfer the diskette to a suitable BBC machine 
(see Sprow's webpages) and then:-

*GOS             ARM7 Co-Pro command
<hard reset>
*DOS
*MOUNT 0                  
*INFO<filename>         make a note of the of the
*LOAD<filename> 8000                   file <length>
*DISC                           
*DRIVE 1                    Contains DFS formatted floppy
*SAVE<filename>  8000+<length> <execution> <load>
Then:-
*DOS
*MOU.0
*INFO<filename2>                  Make a note of  the lenghth 
*LOAD<filename2> 8000+<length2>    of the file <lenght2>
*DISC
*DRIVE 1                   Contains DFS floppy
etc.

8000 is an arbitrary hex address.

ERRATA In a previous  email, I omitted the important step of 
 *MOUNT <drive>

My apologies.
