Problems working with GreaseWeazle 4.1

[dominicbeesley]

I've downloaded the latest Windows build from the releases page to use with a GreaseWeazle 4.1

The Gui:

• seems to detect the gw and shows serial number which matches that given in gw command
• read button does nothing much other than bring up the read dialog but no activity
• explore sometimes turns on disc activity light (but not motor) then hangs
• explore othertimes turns on motor, hangs and maxes out a cpu core

The command line: I tried example from acorndfs help page:

fluxengine read acorndfs --200 -s drive:0 -o test.ssd

I get error

Error: option 200 not found

For info here's the gw info command results

For the former: ignore the GUI, it's broken. I am (right now) rewriting it.

For the second: the CLI syntax has changed. Try this:

fluxengine read -c acorndfs --200 -s drive:0 -o test.ssd

(All the documentation should have been updated, so if you see anything that's not, let me know...)

Thanks David,

Is there an old version of the GUI that does work or do I just need to wait?

I had cut and paste from Cowlark: https://cowlark.com/fluxengine/doc/disk-acorndfs.html but that seems to now be updated with changed syntax
