Locksmith 6.0 on IIgs

[vladitx]

Most of Locksmith 6.0 functionality runs fine on the IIgs, but FAST DISK BACKUP doesn't work in my case. I have regular Disk II controller plugged in slot #6 and configured to "Your card".

Locksmith 6.0 boots, 16-sector utilities work, so does disk scan and track editor. But FAST DISK BACKUP doesn't - it loads and when the backup is started it doesn't bring the drive power, so the drive remains unpowered and Locksmith just shows '*' and 'A' (cannot find address prologue).

Any clues? Does it trigger some weird IIgs incompatibility, or I have something wrong in my setup.

Deckard, I think you had the FAST DATA BACKUP disassembled. How does it turn the motor on ($C0n9) ?

You should try to use Locksmith 6.3.
According to the following screen, it should work on GS computers:

Hah, thanks. It looks like hackwork, wasn't Locksmith 6.0 the last one?
Just like somebody here did 6.1 hack.

Will give it a try though, once I'm able to transfer to real disk.
