MSX Turbo R FS-A1ST has MSX-DOS Kernel 2.30 built in (you'll still need MSXDOS2.SYS and COMMAND2.COM on a MSX-DOS2-formatted disk, however). The FS-A1GT has MSX-DOS Kernel 2.31 built in.

Yup, quite a self-explanatory way to format a disk in DOS2 mode is as follows (without the need of MSXDOS2.SYS and COMMAND2.COM): Start up the machine without any disk hanging in it, then do _FORMAT with the necessary parameters. Doing so, it'll boot with DOS2 enabled

Ok. got thinx up and running again, finally. The FORMAT will also result in total crap (read: tilt) of the emulator. So no big help there either (for creating dos2. boot flops) I got one form the funet archives which works like it should.

Still muzax3 has troubles with the IDE extention (the intro screen will boot, but then it'l crash after a while. looks like filling up the RAM ends up in tilt (muzax tries to fill up as much free RAM as possible in one go))

call format should work on normal disk images, but only with machines that have the WD2793 FDC (i.e.: not the TurboR, e.g.!)

I just tried it again on a TurboR, but I really have no trouble running Muzax 3 from IDE HD... What machine are you using and how much RAM does it have? Used any extra mappers?

By the way, formatting on a turboR should work just fine with at least openMSX 0.6.2. (Probably also in earlier versions, but it wasn't that accurate then...)

Dude! That's a three year old thread you just dug up!

Yeah, because I'm referring to it in the openMSX User's Manual

I do want to simulate the harddisk, but am not familiar with the ide harddisk of sunrise. I do have the novaxis rom but i can't remember on what page the novaxis is at (thought it was page 2-1, but that's where the dos rom is placed at the moment.)

Novaxis SCSI will be emulated in openMSX 0.6.3 (thanks to blueMSX folks!).
