Copying files between 1541 and ramlink with JiffyDOS/RamLinkDOS?

What would the problem syntax be to copy a file from say a 1541(dev 8) to a Ramlink(dev 16, partition 1)? I tried the standard JiffyDOS way and it failed in a weird way. The RamLink manual briefly mentions partition to partition, but not clearly. Help would be appreciated.

If you first set the RamLink to the desired partition, you should be able to use any good filecopy utility to copy from device 8 to device 16. That worked OK with a CMD RamDrive I used to have. Just guessing it would work with a RamLink also. -- Best regards, Sam Gillett Change is inevitable, except from vending machines!

Well it sounds to me like you are having the problem of copying from a device with NO PARTITIONS to one WITH PARTITIONS. To do this you will have to: A) LOAD THE RAMLINK UTILITIES DISK "RAM-TOOLS" B) THEN SELECT "SELECT DEFAULT PARTITION" OPTION ' C) Then SAVE DEFAULTS D) THEN THE REBOOT THE SYSTEM E) NOW WHEN YOU COPY TO OR FROM THE RAMLINK, THE PARTITION THAT YOU SELECTED IS AUTOMATICALLY THE "DEFAULT" PARTITION., So you should be able to copy to and from #8 and #16 FREELY now. ;) Good Luck!

I would use FCopy, FCopy+, or WCopy+ to transfer the file from 1541 to RL partition x. Truly, Robert Bernardo Fresno Commodore User Group http://videocam.net.au/fcug The Other Group of Amigoids http://www.calweb.com/~rabel1/

There's a way to do it with the immediate-mode commands in JiffyDOS: @X to select the destination drive number Load a directory from the source drive CTRL-W to select which files to copy Then RUN (I think??) to start the copy process. But it's much easier to use a copier tool like those Robert listed.

So essentially you are shouting some words in a sentence and quoting them to emphasize them even more. That's how it's read in netspeak and it's not only real poor (n)etiquette on your part, but it also displays a lack of communication skill and poor grammer.

The commands that can be issued to a storage device are given in the device user's guide. There is a command for copying the contents from a file of one name or drive number to a file possibly on another drive or different name on the SAME device. Only dual drive devices like the MSD-2 can be used to transfer files from one disk to another with a device command. The RAMLink uses the old drive number parameter to refer to partitions rather than drives..So you can issue a RAMLink command to copy a file from one partition to another. You can't issue a command to a device to copy files from one device (like a 1541) to another device (like a second 1541 or a RAMLink or ...). Whether you use JIFFYDos or some other way to issue a command to a device is irrelevant. In order to copy a file from a source device to a target device you need a special program designed for the purpose. Others in this thread have named examples of these kind of programs (FCOPY, FCOPY +. 1581 TOOLKIT, MAVERICK, ...) Terminal programs sometimes have this utility. IIRC, JD has one of these utilities embedded in its code. Unfortunately, I can't find my JD manual to tell you how to access the JD device utility. I hope I have determined what your problem is correctly.

Unless modded, 1581 Toolkit and Maverick do not work with the RAMLink.

See Leif's message, just change to the desired partition and subdirectory first (e.g. @CP4 to switch to partition 4, @CD//SUBDIR to switch to subdirectory SUBDIR). Can someone confirm that this works with RAMLink as well (I've never owned one)? The OP mentioned copying between partitions; the JiffyDOS for that would be (to copy FILENAME from partition 1 to partition 2 on the same drive): @C2//:FILENAME=1//:FILENAME To copy between subdirectories across partitions (in this case, copying FIND from partition 18, dir CMD to partition 16, dir TEMP on the same drive): @C16//TEMP/:FIND=18//CMD/:FIND These work on a CMD HD; I'm assuming they would work on a RAMLink as well. -- Glenn Holmer (Q-Link: ShadowM) http://www.lyonlabs.org/commodore/c64.html
