- I know your looking for a OS/2 native application, but for the time being,
- check out Star Commander. It is DOS but will runs very well under OS/2 with
- the "HW_TIMER" option set to on. I currently have the Beta 0.71 and
- unfortunately I can't do anything but "normal" transfers, my machine locks up
- tight (must use reset button) if I select the high speed options. It does
- this in DOS and OS/2 so there must be a bug with this version.
-
- My only complaint is there appears to be no option to send commands to the
- Commodore drive, so you have to format the disk on a real Commodore, for
- example. It is otherwise very nice...you can copy files to/from a commodore
- disk, disk images to/from a 1541 disk, or files within disk images to/from a
- commodore disk.
