Risc World DVD and SF 3000

[Ian]

I had forgotten My Iyxonix X100 will not read DVD's .
Having read the RW DVD on a [ non networked ] laptop and copied the
SF3000 there onto a memory stick I find having copied same on the
Iyonix it gives a file type of DOS and won't open .

I wonder if any one could suggest a way round this please ?

TIA

Why? No DVD drive, or a DVD drive that does not work properly?
If the latter, which drive is it?

How did you "copy" the content of the RW DVD to the stick? Is
it an image of the DVD? If so, you need to use CDFaker or CDROMFS
to "mount" the image.

If not, I would guess that it is a big ZIP file which you just
drop onto SparkFS to extract the content.

Try using !Cino (if it is still available) that has a dvdrom filing
system. (Makes my DVDROM work for more than just CDs)

It's a x-files archive so you'll also need the 32 bit x-files app from the
RISC World CD.
