Happy Birthday, Enterprise!
Let's start the party: As promised - here is the new version with SD card interface support.
I attached a dump of my first SD card partition (drive F), too. This already includes a SYMBOS.INI file, which configures one floppy disc drive (A) and the first partition of the SD card (F) inserted in the second slot (the upper one for "big" cards). You can start the Control Panel (appcp.exe) anytime to reconfigure your mass storage device settings.
In this setup the system path is "/symbos/" which contains several applications. In the "/graphics/" directory you can click directly onto a graphic file, and SymSee will be started to show it. It's the same for files the "/video/" and the "/document/" folder.
This version supports switchable "mouse-" and "keyboard-" mode for the internal joystick of the Enterprise.
You can switch between both modes by pressing the INS key.
Keyboard mode:
- internal joystick = arrow keys
- hold = F9
- alt + internal joystick = mouse
- alt + space = left mouse key
- stop = right mouse key
- external joystick = mouse, left mouse button
Mouse mode:
- internal joystick = mouse
- hold = left mouse key
- stop = right mouse key
Some words about the SD card support:
- slot 1 is the MicroSD card slot (on the lower side), slot 2 is the standard size SD card slot (on the upper side)
- SD cards can be removed and re-inserted
- you can still access your floppy disc drives; you can use SymbOS for transfering data between the SD card and the floppy
- the actual driver doesn't support "extended partitions". You can only select "primary partitions" (1-4)
- SymbOS supports FAT16 and FAT32 as well. So I recommend to create an additional FAT16/32 primary partition on your SD card, where you can copy all the files for SymbOS, or you use the second SD card slot, which only contains one FAT16/32 partition and is used for SymbOS and file transfer with the PC
The current boot loader tries to search the SYMBOS.INI on the partition 1 (if the actual drive letter = F), 2 (G),3 (H) or 4 (I). It first tries to access the upper SD card (second slot), then it tries to access the lower SD card (first slot). It will not work, if you have partitions on both slots and try to boot from the first one, as then the letters won't be correct anymore, and SymbOS will select the wrong partition. The same is, if you have an IDE device, too.
I hope it works on your machines, too. Please report any problem (or success)
Have a nice birthday party!
