HOW TO CHANGE DISK DRIVE DEVICE ON MY 128D?

[retrobazar]

Hello, I'm experiencing problems with 1541Ultimate on my 128D:

A lot of multipart games requires to be loaded from device 8, I setted up 1541Ultimate as Device 9 because there is the internal 1571 disk drive already with device 8, but when I try to load a multipart game like "Defender of the crown" from device 9 (1541Ultimate) it freeze because try to load itself from device 8.

I'd like to change the 1571 device number from 8 to 9 but don't want to operate directly on the 128D motherboard. Is there a software or a command line that can change disk drive device?

thanks a lot!

No need to cut your beloved C128D in order to achieve device number change!

Type in the following commands from BASIC prompt:

open 15,odev,15
print#15,"u0>"+chr$(ndev)
close 15

changing odev to current device number (8 for example) and ndev to new device number (9 for example). The change is temporary. Hope this helps.
