Booting to DOS 3.3 after GSOS 6.0.1
Posted: Tue Mar 25, 2014 11:30 am
I'm experiencing a repeatable error (at least here) and I am wondering if anyone else has come across it.
My system: IIGS ROM 1, 1.25 MB, two 3.5 and two 5.25 drives off IIGS drive port. CFFA3K card in slot 2, configured for Disk II emulator in Slot 7. 128 CF card configured as a 128 MB HSF Volume. 128 MB USB drive contains DOS3.dsk and GSOSBoot.po files as well as Copy II Plus as a .DSK file. IIGS set to boot Slot 2. DOS 3.DSK assigned to Disk II. CFFA3K Smartport assignments: first, u GSOSBOOT.PO; second, c DOS3.DSK.
Cold boots fine into GSOS 6.0.1 with the HSF volume present. Cold boot into CFFA3K menu, then select Boot Slot 7, and DOS 3.3 boots fine. But if I boot into GSOS 6.0.1, and then from that access the CFFA3K menu & try to boot Disk II (Slot 7 - DOS3.DSK), problems. If I do the same but try to run Copy II Plus 9, same thing happens. Can run DOS 3.3 and Copy II Plus 9 .DSK files fine if I reboot my system, but can not do so if the GSOS 6.0.1. desktop is up.
I've been able to repeat this scenario on 5 different IIGS ROM 1 systems, two different CFFA3K cards, and numerous combinations of USB drives and CF cards from various manufacturers and of different sizes.
Has anyone else experienced any problems in trying to warm boot to their Disk II emulator while GSOS 6.0.1 is running?
