|  Re: Please help testing: New loader release imminent
Today I'm working at home and took a bit of worktime to test the loader. 
The test hardware:
- plus/4 (more or less standard)
- 1541-II (SpeedDOS 2.7 switchable between 35 and 40 tracks)
- 1551
- 1571 (old, 3.0 ROM)
- 1581
(And my laptop with zoomfloppy and an USB screen grabber as monitor)
The 1541-II is detected as 1541C, parallel mode is not detected (I don't know if it's implemented) but serial mode works fine.
1551 works in generic mode with the same error Luca posted. (Took a screenshot http://siz.hu/external/krill-1551.png )
The 1571 is recognized but does not start (screenshot : http://siz.hu/external/krill-1571.png )
Finally I had some tough time to copy the image to the 1581. (I've never done this before, waiting for tips on how to do this well). Finally I've extracted the files from the D81 image with total commander and the dircbm plugin and copied the files one-by-one with the dos command
for %i in (a*.*) ; do cbmcopy -w -o "%~ni" 8 "%i"
(the files were in a subdirectory called "a")
After the copy was finally done I could test it: works flawlessly.
