Hi !

If you uses CBM4WIN, you don't need the STARCOMMANDER !
And YES...it functions outstanding under WINDOWS XP.
Best you go once on the official side from CBM4WIN - there's everything in every detail explained and described:
http://www.trikaliotis.net/cbm4win.shtml
Much to recommend is also the GUI for CBM4WIN...thus the use becomes very easy: http://www.jammingsignal.com/gui4cbm4win/

cbm4win requires an XA or XM cable, not a flat X1541 cable.

szerk: a GUI verziban - ez kimaradt az előbb...vagy az csak a file másolásra van kiélezve?

Hiya,

Cbm4win combined with a XM1541 cable works brilliantly with xp/2000. I use it all the time and its so much more convienent than using star commander and booting in dos.

 Re: Cbm4win

cbm4win is my favorite tool too. sadly it lacks the newer DOS commands like "scratch" or "header".

 Re: Cbm4win

But there are functions in the GUI that do these operations as well happy

Yeah the GUI is _very_ buggy (and ugly, too). Simple things like changing directories don't work reliably. This is a real pity. I wonder how hard it would be to make a good one (or improve this)...

 Re: Cbm4win

Do you also use the newest versions?

CBM4WIN v0.4.0. : http://www.trikaliotis.net/cbm4win#v0_4_0

GUI4CBM4WIN v0.6.5. : http://blog.paytonbyrd.com/?p=89

In the meantime, some bugs were already repaired...

 Re: Cbm4win

Indeed, the new version of GUI is good IMO happy reliable and faster.
I'm sure Gaia is referring to first version.

BTW a new version of Cbm4win is under testing and I can assure you all that it is even faster. Main feature of it is the support of many CBM devices linked (making possible to leave the X-cable connected while you are using Plus4).

 Re: Cbm4win

I use that stuff regularly under Linux... was not especially happy about its first appearance, had to create udev rules by hand, but after that, it worked reliably. I use no gui with it, btw.

Probably I'm the only one who uses his own 13 years old selfsoldered X1541 on XP with StarCommander.

 Re: Cbm4win

I also use self-built cables, but not the original X1541 one... that has been modified to an "XE1541" years ago, as I usually don't have a PC around me whose parallel port would still be compatible with the original one anymore. And for SC, it is nice (for sure), but not for multitasking environments... I slowly started to hate keeping a minimal Windows 98 setup for the sole purpose of transferring d64 images. The last time I used SC, I remember having booted up from a FreeDos CD... and then decided to reconsider if I could still get opencbm to work somehow wink.

 Re: Cbm4win

The cable I currently use is a self-built XE1541, with detachable adaptors to convert it to an XM1541 or a parallel cable (XEP1541/XMP1541), the reason being so that I could still use it for both cbm4win and mnib (which required different cables at the time, and I was unable to get the parts for an XA1541)
