Fixed bug where verify and low memory options couldn't be turned off onceĮnabled. Thanks to everyone who gave feedback and carried out beta testing for me.
#MAGICMENU UTILITY CODE#
Thanks to Andreas Etzrodt and Magnus Lundin for their excellent work on ADF-Blitzer, and for releasing the code on which ADFer is based. Note that the RAD settings should all refer to the same virtual floppy drive. This sets the unit number used for the RAD: drive
#MAGICMENU UTILITY DRIVER#
This sets the device driver used for the RAD: drive This sets the DOS handler used for the RAD: virtual floppy drive Set this tooltype to choose a default directory for ADF files There are four Tooltypes that can be set in ADFer's icon to control certain
#MAGICMENU UTILITY VERIFICATION#
A message will tell you whether or not the verification was successful. Verify after writing can be enabled to get ADFer to check the newly-written disk against the ADF file once writing has finished. This takes much less memory, but can be slower. In this mode, only one track is read or written at a time instead of holding the entire image in RAM at once. Low Memory Mode can be enabled to use ADFer when there is less than 1MB of free RAM available. The Preferences menu offers two options: Low Memory Mode and Verify after writing. The Drive and Settings menus offer some additional options.ĭrive lets you select which floppy drive to use, from DF0: to DF3:, or RAD. Bear in mind it will do this with no warning if the disk is not write protected! If multiple ADFs are selected, you will be prompted to insert a floppy for each ADF before it is written in turn. Write will take a chosen ADF and write it to the floppy in the selected drive. Read will read the contents of a floppy in the selected drive and save its contents as an ADF chosen by you. The main window shows 3 buttons: Read, Quit and Write. Proper error checking for opening drives, allocating memory etc. Low memory mode (no need to load entire ADF into memory), so works in 0.5MB New features and fixes since ADF-Blitzer 2.2 include: Removed 68020-specific code so now works on 68000 Automatically selects low memory mode when required Better font sensitivity - uses Workbench screen font Rewritten memory routines to eliminate problems with RAM disk use New features and fixes since ADF-Blitzer 3 include: This only affected users who weren't using Magic Menu. This release is a quick bugfix release that addresses a bug where the verify and low memory options couldn't be turned off once they were turned on. So I started developing a new version to include many fixes and new features, while keeping the same simplicity as the original. However, it hadn't been updated since 2001, and there were a couple of small improvements I thought it could do with. ADFer is a tool for reading and writing ADF files.ĪDFer is a complete overhaul of the excellent ADF-Blitzer, which has been a very useful tool for me and many others since it was originally rleased in 1998.
