    No, it is supported and works well here in my pegasos! (wrote it above). I had in the past 3 Peg2, and all oft them worked well. I'm able to use it in DOSBOX, which is essential for me, because some of my old measurement-equippement only gives data on floppy.
    If it does'nt work in your case, you have a faulty hardware or a softwareinstallation problem.

    I want update thread with latest experience.
    Just yesterday I swapped floppy drive and cable with another one, it’s still non recognised by system.
    I used latest trackdisk.device (sent me by mail from Amigaharry) in devs: latest fat95 binary from aminet in L: using Amigaharry mountlist in Devs:dosdrivers with a project icon named MS0 with a default command to “c:mount”and toooltype “Active=1”
    Result is always the same. Floppy drive is “fakery” mounted and when in a shell I want to access to MS0 I got an assign/mount requester.
    I’m sure there’s something wrong or missed, but at this stage really I don’t know.

    Move MS0 out of devs/dosdrivers an reboot.
    Than mount MS0 from shell: mount MS0

    Are there any comments?

    What does info-command in shell say?

    Could it be, that you have an additional, old mountlist in MosSYS:Devs/Dosdrivers?

    As said there was something missed.. I have just solved looking snoopium output logs :-)
    On my system missed "openpci.library" so trackdisk.device didn't work!
    Now also trackdisk.device prefs, for noclick and max errors retry, runs ok.

    For openpci you have to download missing library from here: http://bvernoux.free.fr/DevPCI.php#download

    For MorphOS: uncompress the zip and copy the openpci.library.elf to libs:
    later all will work as expected.

    Many thanks to Amigaharry for his support :-D
    I'd like to upload latest trackdisk.device on morphos-storage.
    ..are there any reasons not to do it?

    Think, thats OK.


    I'll never thougt that openpci.library is missing!! Strange thing, that there is nothing about in trackdisk.device-docs - openpci is third-party...

    Fixed Openpci was included in some previous MorphOS releases so probably checking some 2.x iso would be better.

    My earliest version it 3.5 (beside 1.4.x) I have at home......


    But: Was there any special reason why openpci was removed?

    All releases are available to download from the MorphOS team web server.

    > Was there any special reason why openpci was removed?

    Also from 3.2 release notes:
    "Devs/Audiomodes/Emu10kx
    Migrated from OpenPCI to pcix.library.
    "

    I guess that this was the last component contained in the MorphOS ISO image to require openpci.library, so that after migration the library was removed due to non-use.

    I don't remember correctly but probably openpci can cause some problems and it was easier to rewrite SB ahi driver to stable pcix.library than fixing/debugging OpenPCI.
