copying files from SD/M4 to Floppy

[davebirl]

One of my disks failed and I need to copy files from SD to floppy again but when I try now, my 6128 is trying to write audio and not to drive A:

The commands I am using are as follows and I thought these worked for me in the past.

¦SD
¦cd,"games/granny
¦DISC
¦FCP,"*", "A:" (Copies all files from games/granny to Diskette drive A)

Do you know what I am doing wrong?

Many thanks

Duke set me straight, it was the modded 6128 rom in slot 31 causing it to try to write to tape  thank you!

Usually !FCP works like a charm. 

However if you want to copy to (or from) any kind of floppy disc on your CPC/6128plus on internal (Amstrad) or external (Vortex) Floppy disc controller you can use the 2023 update of FutureOS. It's fifth ROM provides an easy way to do that.

6128 is trying to write audio and not to drive A:

At a guess the AMSDOS ROM is not working properly. You said |DISC worked, but what about |A and |DIR. Check AMSDOS is in the ROM slots properly, and also check when you |M4ROMOFF that you can access you discs then

Today you can install FutureOS on the M4 expansion. And using the Mass-Storage Icon you enter an environment which allows you to copy multiple file from / to M4 SD card. You can even use two M4 directories at the same time.

Truly hoping you're all enjoying this new feature. And let me know it you miss something. 

FutureOS it there for you and to bring light and fun into your life.

In case you want to dump whole discs, the fastest is to use the |M4FE front-end with the option to dump from dsk to physical disc.

[GUNHED]

Yeah, maybe it's time to do this for FutureOS too. Writing a complete disc takes about 9 seconds. So dumping a disc should take 10-12 seconds. 

Is there any interest out there?
