I've been using the wonderful Megacart's Copy Disk utility. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to copy a whole disk to SD folder (1541 --> uIEC) or reverse.
I thought there may have been a thread about this in the past, but I can't find it now. Does anyone know to copy whole disks using uIEC?
Copy Disk with uIEC
Moderator: Moderators
With Wedge I do the following.
@C:newdisk.d64=blank.d64
I guess there must be similar command referencing drive 8 then drive 9 or 10 but you might need a low level program to read the whole drive image.
See the thread I asked to be made a sticky but which was declined by those who already know all in this regard.

Re: Copy Disk with uIEC
Yes, Disc Copier it's a my simple basic program but works pretty well, with SJLOAD speed-up too.Jeff-20 wrote:I've been using the wonderful Megacart's Copy Disk utility.
Use option 4 1541->D64Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to copy a whole disk to SD folder (1541 --> uIEC) or reverse.
It asks for source disk number (tipically 8 ) and target disk number (your uIEC) then asks for the file name (IMAGE.D64 proposed)
Confirm and it does the job.
For the opposite operation use option 7 D64->1541
Very simple and fast

I've used a program called D64IT to copy .d64 images to real floppies and vice versa.
Unfortunately it's written for the C64, but, I found this old thread here on DENIAL, where a member attempted to create a VIC version of D64IT.

Once you have the .d64 on the SD card, you can use DirMaster: http://style64.org/release/dirmaster-v2.2-style to transfer the files to a folder.

Oh, cool! I wanted a bunch of PRGs as output, but I guess I can just use D64 editor to get that. I've never used that program, and it is an extra step. But I think that's the only solution.
I guess I want a program that will allow me to copy one file at a time. I have plenty of disks that only have one or two programs I want to save. It's a waste of time and energy to copy the whole D64. That would be a great feature in File Browser!

I'm still discovering new features in the MegaCart! Thanks!nbla000 wrote:For that purpose you may use CBM-Command from your Mega-Cart (Utilities section).
Do you know the code used for copying a file? Is it in Machine Language? I've tried to do it in BASIC a long time ago, but I had no success. I'm curious to know how it copies a file from one disk to another so quickly.
Sources are in C++, the C compiler generates the ASM code for CC65 so the result is pure assembler.Jeff-20 wrote:Do you know the code used for copying a file? Is it in Machine Language? I've tried to do it in BASIC a long time ago, but I had no success.

This is a special version that plbyrd (the author) made for Mega-Cart, I've just updated it to use SJLOAD to speedup disk operations, this is the reason why it's so quick.I'm curious to know how it copies a file from one disk to another so quickly.
Is or is not a MEGA-cart ?I'm still discovering new features in the MegaCart! Thanks!
