Request: Disk Write Support #12

Closed lencio closed 3 years ago

lencio commented 3 years ago

Hi! I try to write a little programs using MiSter and I can't write anything in disk, and there is no tape support. would it be possible to implement write support to disk?

Thanks for your work! P.D. In core documentation appears this: Disks A800: After mounting the disk, press F10 to boot. Some games don't like the Basic ROM. Keep F8(Option) pressed while pressing F10 to skip the Basic. Currently disks are read-only.

Actually core should support disk write. There are firmware functions for write. Although i'm not familiar with Atari 800 itself. But i remember i've tested disk write (but forgot how). Make sure disk image is not read-only.

I try to write in an empty disk and I can't, in wiki site of core says "Current disk are read-only" https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Atari800_MiSTer

Thanks for reply!

If this is useful for you, I created a clean image (*. atr) in altirra with a DOS disk (2.5), formatting and then running the "INIT DOS FILES" option, then in the MiSTer save with SAVE "D: TEST.BAS" and to load, LOAD "D: TEST.BAS", this works for me
