Hi,
I've read about this first in CT60 TOS sources but only today I got it confirmed from Vincent (who has added IDE support into EmuTOS and used FireTOS from ACP as inspiration) -- CT60 TOS should have native support for FAT16 partitioned PC disks (CF/SD cards in most cases), i.e. not using traditional AHDI scheme (as HD Driver partition tool does) but MBR-based one.
However, I was unable to get it work, it's true after connecting such card (4 primary partitions, $06 ID, each about 100 MB big) I see "boot MSDOS" but unfortunately, that's it. CT60 TOS is looking for another drives, in case nothing is found, it drops to desktop with no HDD icons, in case something is found (for example second IDE drive), it boots that.
Is it broken or I have to do something more? Probably I don't understand what is it supposed to do, from Vincent's words it seems FireTOS is able to boot such SD/CF card directly, so you create AUTO folder on PC, copy stuff there and after boot on Atari you'll get C: icon on desktop... would be cool, wouldn't be :)

What's the anti-troll code?
That's your personal code to be able to add comments and messages on the dhs.nu site.
Don't have a code or forgot it? Fix it here.
