Im desperately trying to make the Commander access my Commodore drive but it just displays “Drive #8 not present”, “Timeout detected” or simply locks up. What shall I do?
Please, read the “Troubleshooting” section in the documentation. This should cover all common mistakes. • Q: I found few bugs in the Commander and there are many functions in it. Why is it then that the public releases are still 0.xx versions? A: The reason is that I hate version numbers like 12.3 or 1.2.34 and I only want to call 1.0 the final version. On the other hand, many people have the prejudice of thinking that beta releases are buggy. Don’t worry, the public releases of the Commander are as bugfree and complete as any other non-beta software. But to make you happy, starting with Version 0.73, the Commander is not called “beta” anymore. Not that this would make any real difference. • Q: Does the Commander support non-1541 drives: 1571, 1581, SFD-1001, FD-2000, FD-4000 drives and CMD hard disks? A: Currently, only the 1541 drive family, 1541 compatible drives, and both the 1541 emulation mode and the native mode of 1570 and 1571 drives. Support for 1581 drives will be implemente
