No, it wouldn't affect the files in the disk image.
Earlier this spring, I was using CBM Command; and, with my game disks, making disk imagesof those disks. I used the original floppy; and then, created the image right on my uIEC; but, some of those would not write correctly, and reported an error.
I can't remember who it was; but, someone on this list told me that the uIEC has to be set
(with DOS commands) to recognize other filetypes, etc.: .SEQ, .USR, etc.
I had written this down; but, earlier this spring, I moved; and, it seems, in the jumble of packing and unpacking, I misplaced that. So, I was hoping some kind soul could please show me what DOS command should be used.
BTW, CBM-Command reported not recognizing certain filetypes.
- X: Extended commands. If you use JiffyDOS, you can send them by using
@"X..." -- without quotes, you'll just receive an error.
- XEnum Sets the "file extension mode". This setting controls if
files on FAT are written with an x00 header and extension, or not.
Possible values for num are:
0: Never write x00 format files.
1: Write x00 format files for SEQ/USR/REL, but not for PRG.
2: Always write x00 format files.
3: Use SEQ/USR/REL file extensions, no x00 headers.
4: Same as 3, but also for PRG.
If you set mode 3 or 4, extension hiding is automatically enabled.
This setting can be saved in the EEPROM using XW, the default
value is 1.
For compatibility with existing programs that write D64 files,
PRG files that have D64, D41, D71, D81, DNP or M2I as an extension
will always be written without an x00 header and without
any additional PRG file extension.
- XE+/XE- Enable/disable extension hiding. If enabled, files in FAT with
a PRG/SEQ/USR/REL extension will have their extension removed;
and, the file type changed to the type specified by the file
extension -- e.g., "APPLICATION.PRG" will become a PRG file named
"APPLICATION", and "README.SEQ" will become a SEQ file named "README".
This flag can be saved in the EEPROM using XW, the default
value is disabled (-).
- XInum Switches the display mode for mountable files (i.e., disk images
and M2I). num can be 0; in which case, the file will be shown
with its normal type in the directory; or 1, which will show all
mountable files as DIRectory entries (but, they can still be
accessed as files, too); or 2, in which case, they will show up
twice -- once with their normal types and once as directories.
The default value is 0; and, this setting can be stored
permanently using XW.
It might be useful to set it to 1 or 2 when using software that
was originally written for CMD devices, and which wouldn't
recognize disk images/M2I files as mountable on their own.
However, due to limitations of the current implementation of
the CD command, such software still might fail to mount a disk
image, with this option enabled.
- XW Store configuration to EEPROM.
This command stores the current configuration in the EEPROM.
It automatically will be read when the AVR is reset; so,
any changes you made will persist, even after turning off
the hardware.
The stored configuration includes the extension mode,
drive configuration, and the current device address.
If you have changed the device address by software,
sd2iec will power up with that address unless
you have changed the device address jumpers (if available) to
a different setting than the one active at the time the
configuration was saved. You can think of this feature as
changing the meaning of one specific setting of the jumpers
to a different address if that sounds logical enough to you.
The "hardware overrides software overrides hardware" priority
was chosen to allow accessing sd2iec even when it is soft-
configured for a device number that is already taken by
another device on the bus, without having to remove that
device to reconfigure sd2iec (e.g., when using a C128D).
