Hardware / Iomega Rev , USB, UDF
« on: December 28, 2022, 01:14:38 am »
I have an Iomega REV USB Disk Drive; im using latest ArcaNoe-OS in VirtualBox. In OS/2 i can eject the disk in the drive and the drive is recognized (as removable media drive) in OS/2. But i cannot read, write oder format the discs: "The drive or diskette is not formated correctly"

The special about the Iomega Rev Drive is, that the changeable discs are harddisks BUT they are formated with UDF and windows thinks they are writable CDROMS
In Windows you can only format them with UDF.
In OS/2 the UDF-IFS-Driver is loaded but that doesn't help.
The DVDtools in OS/2 did not work with that drive.
Trying to format the disc in the OS2-commandline didnt work, SYS1303 or SYS0530
Is OS/2 not able to handle UDF?

I love the old Visualageproducts / IBMs programming packages / Redbooks, ....
The documentation are on real hardware (books) and very good.

I bought the complete VA 2.0 (with all printed docs) on ebay to learn Smalltalk; surely there are newer versions or freeware-opensource  stuff but i need to read in real books

Thanks for your comments and hints.

On os2.org somebody post the fix i need.
>> Nur das Paket VAG200B1 ist für VisualAge for Windows and OS/2 Single User 2.0 (5622-340) geeignet.

With this fix i could not direct fix the problem, cause the clean install of Visualage on Arcaos does not work [VA Smalltalk must run to patch itself]:
So i patched the working installion of Visualage 2.0 on Warp4.5 , packed the complete Visualage-folders with zip , transfered them to Arcaos and unzipped the files.
Now it seems to work: Examples, Clasbrowsers, my learning programs seems to work

I will check the Visualageconnectivity to SOM,DB/2 later

I have some problems with Visualage 2.0 Smalltalk for OS/2

Visualage 2.0 runs fine on OS/2 2.x, 3.x, 4.5  but not on Arcaos 5.06 (with or without additional fixes)
On e.g. Warp 3 i can browse classes & objects .. and develope apps. on Arcaos i cannot browse classes, the application manager don't work ..
It seems there are internal processes which doesnt work in Arcaos: errors like process ... process state suspendes ...

Changing the order of the DLL-pathes in the SET statements does not help.

Maybe i need some patches for Visualage 2.0
But on IBMs ftp-server there are no 2.0 patches.

On the old IBM Servicepac CDs there are some patches mentioned : 4/94, 5/95, 6/95, 8/95  keywords: "VisualAge" , "VAG200A1","VAG200B1", "VAV2STFX"
But i dont have these.
Has someone one of these CDs and can send me the fixes?
