Re: [Techtoolslist] Verified copy of 6.1 now up on TTL
Seriously not trying to be clever here but there's certainly a way to get a directory listing of the hard drive, and im so-so thinking it would apply to floppies as well. Only reason I know is that I did it when I was messing about with my drive conversion back in 2008, sent the output to a file, transferred that file over serial to my PC, loaded it up in an editor and had a flick through. Sadly, I can't be more specific than that. My memory isn't great and I can't remember details of what I did 6 months ago, let alone coming up for 5 years. I also can't rule out it bring a program someone may have written on my unit. My unit is in my workshop any I've only just finished my day job so my brain is frazzled. Maybe in a bit I'll at least see if I have still got the output file. If it was a script on my unit, it'll be listed in the output.

It's not an easy answer. If you know the name of a UUT on the floppy, then 'edit | /dr1/UUTname' this will put you in the UUT directory on the floppy to see if there is any partslib/proglib/nodelist or programs to browse. I don't know how to get a UUT list of the contents of a floppy. If you want to know whats on a disk you can just copy it to the hard disk and see what UUT's pop up. The fluke directory structure is fixed in the editor system, there is not a directory list function like in other OS's, programs are confined to existing inside UUT 'folders'. associated libraries or programs are inside each UUT 'folder' too.

You're welcome John, glad it worked to get the V6.1 images done. I don't completely understand your process though, what was your original source ? Did you do anything with my file ? I don't care, just interested to know if it was any good.
Samdisk is great and also works with loads of other format image files, including Teledisk.
In my file the V6.1 IEEE-488 disk is included. Did you compare my disks to yours ? Be interested to know if they are any good.
Now, CAN ANYBODY PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO SHOW A DIRECTORY OF A FLOPPY ON THE MONITOR OF THE 9100 ??????????
Sorry people, Third time I ask now and everyone seems to ignore. If this is a stupid question please tell me so.... I want to help out here, have a look at all my floppies what's on them (all 51) and share whatever is on them....if there is anything interesting.
Thanks ! :)

SAMDisk did the work - found the problems in the original 6.1 files and fixed them, I then loaded them onto my 9100 and it booted and ran. So I then made SAMDisk images of these floppies.
You can use the 6.0 Master-User, and likely the IEE488-V6 discs for the pods as far as I can tell - haven't checked that out.

HAHAHA! OK, found some notes from when I did it. Just to confirm that you can do it - I have a long text file all about the process of getting files to and from the 9100. I also have said listing file. I've got a section at the end entitled "Making Life Easier - File Listing" QUOTE Using this method of transferring file, the process is a bit long winded if you want to transfer a bunch of files. I find it makes life easier if you have a file on the PC that lists all of the files on your 9100's hard drive. END QUOTE And it then goes on to say… <INSERT PROCESS TO GET THIS FILE HERE> LOL!! So I clearly never bothered to add that bit in! I'll dig a little deeper. And yes, I realise this is for the HDD too but once I've remembered how I did it then you may just be able to replace /HDR with whatever it is for the floppy. Martin.
