[Coco] CoCoSDC

[rietveld rietveld]

Henry (I think your first name is Henry), I very much appreciate your help.

However, that did not work.  Again, for everyone, the issue is that while I can mount a DSK file, it acts as though the disk image is empty.  Thus, I can’t run anything off the disk image.

Sorry, guys, I should have given more info.

Other than SDC-DOS only being version 1.0.1, everything looks fine on the boot-up screen.
I used the "DIR -" command, and get a directory of the SDC card.  No problem.

Then, I mount one of the disk images to drive 0.  It says OK and shows mounted when I issue a DRIVE command.
I then issue a DIR command and the disk image shows empty.  It does this for any disk image I use.

I have the CocoSDC manual so wonderfully provided by members of this group (much appreciated!)  However, every DSK image I load up (using the DRIVE command), and then use the DIR command shows an empty directory.
