Nextor only mounts the first partition on any device. Therefore the diskdrive becomes c:

I did not put a second HDD image either because it causes Nextor to malfunction because of the driver for the Sunrise IDE which is buggy. It does not support a slave disk.

Did you try it? It seems to work fine.

How to access it then? I vaguely remember some command for that, but I can't remember the details.

Yes, on real hardware. (Sunrise CF)
FATs get corrupted when I insert a CF card into the slave slot.

You can use drvinfo to identify already mounted partitions and devices. With mapdrv you can then mount additional partitions.

@sdsnatcher73; got it to work in MSX-BASIC. I missed the tools package from the Nextor site (@Konamman: the tools.dsk.zip is not a zip file but a 7z file... I had to rename it to tools.dsk.7z to be able to decompress it into... nextor.dsk!)

@ericb59: unfortunately, diskmanipulator isn't working for the partitions. Apparently the format is a bit different.

@gdx: this error issue is apparently not (properly) emulated, or I am missing something.
