VirtualAcorn can now confirm that VirtualA5000 V 1.10 can read and write Packet CDs. Packet CD (also called UDF) allows CD writers to copy files using drag and drop file transfers, files can be renamed, deleted, or have their filetypes changed on a writable CD. This means that users can backup their VirtualA5000 hard disc directory to a CD whenever they need.
Once a CD has been finalised using Windows it can also be read on a "real" RISC OS machine, and provided applications and files have been archived then all the filetypes will be preserved. Depending on the particular CD software provided on the PC it is also possible to write data to a CD on VirtualAcorn, then read the CD on a "real" RISC OS machine and then add further data to the CD using VirtualA5000. So far CD writing has only been tested using CeQuadrat PacketCD(tm) and Roxio DirectCD(tm). Full information on setting up a CD Writer is now on the VirtualAcorn Technical Support pages.
And that's not all....
DOS Floppy, CD ROM and LanMan98 Networking support.
The VirtualAcorn technical support pages have now been updated to include information on how to get VirtualA5000 to read and write directly to DOS floppies and also read some CD-ROMs.
VirtualAcorn are indebted to Dave Daniels who came up with the method used to access DOS floppies. Also included on the updated technical support section of the VirtualAcorn website is information on how to set up VirtualAcorn to read and write RISC OS files stored on a PC fileserver using LanMan98. This allows establishments that have networks of "real" RISC OS machines to also use PCs with VirtualA5000 installed.
About VirtualAcorn
VirtualAcorn allows Windows PCs to run RISC OS and RISC OS applications. VirtualAcorn can run in a window, like other programs, or full screen, so that the PC looks and feels just like a "real" RISC OS machine. VirtualAcorn comes complete with a full copy of RISC OS 3.11 and the latest universal !Boot sequence.
You can get more details from the Virtual Acorn website
