Frodo offers four possibilities for the 1541 emulation: |
| 12 |
|
|

< |
<H3>1. Host system directory, setting "Dir"</H3> |
| 13 |
> |
<H3>1. Host system directory (Directory Mode)</H3> |
| 14 |
|
|
| 15 |
|
In this mode, the C64 programs and files are stored in a directory on your |
| 16 |
|
hard disk and can be <KBD>LOAD</KBD>ed and <KBD>SAVE</KBD>d as usual from |
| 28 |
|
|
| 29 |
|
For the opening of files, the file types "P" and "S" and the access modes |
| 30 |
|
"R", "W" and "A" are supported. Wildcards (*,?) can be used, but you have |
| 31 |
< |
to remember that files in BeOS/Unix/AmigaOS directories have no determined order |
| 32 |
< |
and the result of <KBD>LOAD"*",8</KBD> is rather random. Files are always |
| 33 |
< |
overwritten even if they are not opened with "@:". Floppy commands other |
| 34 |
< |
than "I" and "UJ", relative files and direct block access are not |

<H3>2. .d64/x64 disk image file, setting "D64"</H3> |

Most C64 programs available on the Internet and on CD-ROMs, expecially |
| 41 |
< |
demos and games, are stored in files with the ending ".d64". Such a file |
| 42 |
< |
holds all 683 blocks of a complete side of a 1541 disk, so that direct |
| 43 |
< |
block accesses are possible from within the emulation. However, Frodo only |
| 44 |
< |
supports read accesses. The path name of the disk image file must be given |
| 45 |
< |
in the settings window in the path entry fields of the "Drives" box.<P> |

Apart from .d64 files, Frodo can also use image files of the "x64" |

emulator, automatically detecting the file type.<P> |

.t64 and LYNX (.lnx) files are archive files like "tar". .t64 files are |
| 54 |
|
also often found on the Internet and on CD-ROMs; LYNX is a native C64 |
| 71 |
|
emulation notably, the 1541 processor emulation can be turned on and off |
| 72 |
|
from the settings.<P> |
| 73 |
|
|
| 74 |
< |
If the 1541 processor emulation is turned on, the "Dir"/"D64" drives 8..11 |
| 75 |
< |
are no longer available. They are replaced by a single drive with number 8 |
| 76 |
< |
that operates in "D64" mode (regardless of the state of the type setting |
| 77 |
< |
for drive 8). The path name of the .d64/x64 file to be used must be given |
| 78 |
< |
in the path entry field of drive 8.<P> |

|

In contrast to the standard "D64" mode, the 1541 processor emulation is |
| 81 |
< |
able to write to the disk. There is no way to "virtually write-protect" the |
| 82 |
< |
disk image file, so be careful. |
