LISA File Transporter tool moves files from modern computers to the Workshop

I have found that FloppyEMU disk images on MicroSD cards often get corrupted. There are various reasons such as incomplete shutdowns etc. These tools will help check and verify LOS 3.x disk images.

AFAIK, corruption of FloppyEMU disk images is not a common complaint - please correct me if I'm wrong.

So I wonder if the image corruption you've experienced is a result of experiments in editing them, or if your particular FEMU has a technical problem. Did you experience corruption before the editing experiments?

The issue seems to be from the FPGA since it keeps power to the EMU after the "lisa" is shut down. Too hasty a card removal can cause issues, apparently.

Is the serial port configuration kept in a file or is it kept in some sort of parameter ram?

It defaults to 9600 baud at startup; one can reconfigure it using the startup exec script feature, eg: Portconfig Exec Script

For "voting on the best method" purposes, I'd select "all of the above" as different situations benefit from different methods.

Perhaps when (if) there is a workshop + LOS tool that does binary and multiple files rapidly, then that will win out.

The portconfig.obj tool is giving me errors on both A and B. "invalid device name"

.
So it is writing to a file or ram?

I'm not quite sure how that could cause a problem, and I haven't observed anything like that myself, but it definitely needs to be fixed if it's truly an issue! Can you elaborate on what you think could be causing a problem when power is sustained after the Lisa is off?

I'm trying to reproduce the issue. I can almost guarantee you. It's end user error and not a problem with either the 210 or the FPGA.
