joysfera / parcp Goto Github PK

Hi,
I use PARCP with the USB adapter. From Atari to linux it works great, but from DOS to linux not.

I tried it first with a Compaq DOS laptop, however I get the error

Server's Debug info: expected $4853, received $ffff

Then I remembered that I have a SyQuest driver installed.
Disabling it did not help.

Then I tried to run it from a basic DOS starting floppy:

• created a new DOS Starting floppy from Win XP floppy format dialog.
• Copied over parcp to it together with CWSDPMI exe files, which seem to be required
• started the laptop with that floppy, so no other driver should be loaded. -> Same error

Then I booted that same floppy with another xp-machine (regenerated the parcpcfg of course) and got the same error there also.

It doesn't matter on which side I start the client/server.

Anything else I could try?

For some strange reason when I switch to something else and the terminal window loses focus, the parcp Linux client will just abort copying immediately.

I'm having to run the server on Linux and the client on the ST in order to do copying in the background.

PARCP needs currently a 386... Would be great if it's useable on a XT with only 512KB RAM.

Any idea if this is possible?!?

Normal (L)QUIT works (F10) but SHIFT+F10 seems to be ignored.

But I got it working with two little changes:
parcp-usb.c:
#include <HIDAPI/hidapi.h>
to
#include <hidapi/hidapi.h>

and
Makefile.linux:
LIB_USB = -L/home/joy/Qt/HIDAPI/libusb -lHIDAPI -lusb-1.0
to
LIB_USB = -lhidapi-libusb -lusb-1.0

On both systems I did
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev libhidapi-dev
