Hmmm, yes. We have Selectric already in our list. Is there any good reason why we should add this too? I mean, better performance, less memory usage, etc.? Thanks a lot.

M-Disk .acc "MDISK60" un Disk Virtuel resistant au reset
En plus du disque virtuel résistant au reset, plusieurs fonctions complémentaires sont
disponibles....
Doc en Français et en Anglais

Many thanks for this one

We have Maxidisk already, but I don't think is reset prove. I'll add M-Disk ASAP.

EDHACK820.ACC Un petit traitement de texte en accessoire

EdHak 2.0. Great, we had 1.8. I'll replace it ASAP.

rockyone, merci beaucoup pour vos contributions, et pour les captures d'écran My French is a bit rusty

Promis, je test selectric, mais les copies d’écrans me dise rien de bon

Maxidisk is reset-proof, but you have to run the driver program after rebooting to make it accessible again. I wonder if the "auto-install" option for M-Disk means that this part is not necessary? That'd be very cool!

Well, if you use it for selecting a File... then anyone will do actually.
It seems that Selectric has slightly more function... and looks nicer.
Normally what happens is that I test a new s/w and just too lazy to roll back, if nothing goes wrong.
It just got stuck until the next one comes along... boxkite which seems to work for Mint.
Frankly, I have not tried Selectric with Mint.

Après reset a chaud sur Steem comme sur STE, le disque virtuel n'est pas vidé

I tried M-Disk on Steem, but after reboot my M drive dissappeared, even I saved the desktop. But rockyone is reporting that he got it working, and the M drive wasn't empty after reboot, so I guess I'm doing something wrong. I'll give it a try on my Atari to be 100% sure.

[rockyone]

save the setup, then clik OK on the 1° screen
function on Steem (see my screen printing)

[wongck]

There are other reset proof ramdisk - like RDE.

I think the list misses an magnify tool... anyone know such an tool which is compatible with m all the systems/ resolutions around?

[Desty]

Didn't one of the DC utilities do this? They put out some brilliant little programs.

Yes I think you're right.... on both counts

[wongck]

WOW... look here.... so many DC utilities !!

Hehe, in Opera it shows up with zero entries... weird. Thought it was a joke at first

Used probably most of those utilities at one time or another. Except:

Code: Select all

dcnoalrt.lzh   No alert.  Assumes yes for all alert boxes

Wonder what those clever DC lads are doing now?

No joke.... Chrome came with full listings on first time round.
Glad you found the solution to the zero entries.

Thanks a lot. I'll add it ASAP. Probably by EOD today

EDITED: Added under System Tools.

I was just looking through this and thought I'd add a couple of suggestions for a section to add, I was thinking in terms of auto program patches like folderXXX.prg or startgem, or maybe cacheon.prg/cacheoff.prg or the one that turned that blasted keyclick off on boot? Also Pinhead, that force media change prg and poolfix.prg (for TOS 1.04) spring to mind. Some of these are pretty essential (particularly folderXX I would say, unless you're using HD Driver).

Also your entry for UIS III has screenshots of the normal GEM/TOS file selector, rather than UIS, which doesn't look anything like GEM's version.

[wongck]

Here's Townsend's list of TOS fixes.
IMHO, there are some stuff missing like FASTFAT for faster FAT lookup access on HDD for TOS less than 1.04.

[Zogging Hell]

Not even heard of that one, sounds like something I could do with for some of my TOS pensioners! Can you point me to a download?

[wongck]

FASTFAT? don't blame you cause it's actually called FATSPEED... sorry it has been some time.
Only remember it because I boot up my old STFM with my Syquest last year and they were loaded during the test.
I would have forgoten them as well

Since I don't have the archive I zipped the one on my SQ555 here.

[Zogging Hell]

Lol, don't worry I hadn't heard of that one either!
