8 years ago Nope. It was on the list of things to address, but I didn't get to it.
I did, however, investigate needs doing, which I'll document here for when I or you or someone gets to it:
Either there needs to be a ReadMe.txt in the Spectrum folder, explaining that MountIt needs to be installed and then the images mounted with it, or:
make a working directory in tmp
INSTALLER/EXTRAS/CDEVS -> $A2FILES/SYSTEM/CDEVS INSTALLER/EXTRAS/TOOLS -> $A2FILES/SYSTEM/TOOLS INSTALLER/EXTRAS/FONTS -> $A2FILES/SYSTEM/FONTS INSTALLER/EXTRAS/SYSTEM.SETUP -> $A2FILES/SYSTEM/SYSTEM.SETUP SPECTRUM.2.5.4 -> $A2FILES/COMM
Possibly also some of the Help files and stuff for the Apple Menu too, I'd need to figure out where that stuff is.

8 years ago I notice you are now unpacking the hdv image, so I thought you might
have updated the version used as well. Okay, I'll leave this open
for now--I'm still working on the boot files installer, but I'm just
about done with the substance of that. I need some folks to test the
ProDOS 8 patched files to make I applied the patches correctly and
also to backport those patches to the existing shell installer.
Otherwise that's done.
When my Uthernet II arrives, I can see about setting up Spectrum.
The MacIP stuff seems like it will be cool, but I'd rather work with
one unknown at a time. If you haven't got a patch for that, I'll
assign myself then.

- if there's no GS/OS installed (SYSTEM/START.GS.OS), then just download the disk images as it currently does
- install unzip (I think I actually snuck this in to a2server-2-tools.txt, and may or may not have forgotten to mention it, which means you may or may not have merged it in
- download http://www.speccie.co.uk/speccie/software/spectrum_gold_2mg.zip

- copy the file with dd, skipping the first 64 bytes, yielding spectrum_gold.hdv
- cppo -s -ad spectrum_gold.hdv

Yeah, I've been poking at it. As of this morning, I'm no longer unpacking the HDV image, because the installer doesn't work when run from folders. What's in there now is partially complete, so it's functionally disabled for the moment, meaning the behavior at this minute is the same as 1.2.5.

See my other comment about ProDOS 8 patches.

Spectrum in and of itself is also still useful for plain old serial communcations for A2CLOUD, in addition to Uthernet or potentially Mac IP.

Would you like me to merge that in? That's starting to get a little more difficult because you've not been merging the other way.

8 years ago Could you? This is the last time I'm going to make any changes to what's directly at ivanx.com. Anything going forward I'll check out of Github first. If it's a pain for you, I am happy to do it myself.
I'm pretty sure the only thing that's different since the last merge is the chunk of code about Spectrum installation.

8 years ago It'd be a little easier if I had a diff of 1.2.5 to 1.2.6, since the scripts delete themselves upon being run. (That's another reason to stop doing that.) It shouldn't be too bad because there ought to be no other differences than the Spectrum stuff which is all in a2server-5-netboot.txt.
I'll take care of it tonight.

8 years ago Cool, another issue marked resolved!
Since Spectrum Deluxe 2.5.3 installation was added, Ewen put out a 2.5.4 release. I don't think there are new features -- I can't remember -- but in any event it's a ProDOS image, unlike the HFS image of 2.5.3, so it's probably a lot less convoluted to get and install the software than what I've got in there now. (On the other hand, it works, so maybe it's not worth fixing what ain't broke.)
