Hello!
Is there any "Media/Admin" type software like the "TR-DOS Navigator" for a ZX Microdrive outfit? The only one that I could find was the MaxDesktop software (which tried to show the then brand-new WIMP environment). I must admit that a 2-window-style DOpus (Amiga)/Norton Commandar (DOS) type of software would suit me more.

Re: Navigator/Commander for ZX Microdrive file management?
That would be an "orthodox file manager". And yeah, that would be pretty great. Those don't seem to be very common on the 8-bit machines, and the ones I see out there are from a later time. (The term seems to have been invented to describe Norton's Commander and its clones.)cha05e90 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 9:48 am Hello!

This is the first microdrive file manager I've found, doing some quick searching:

Oh, thank you very much. I didn't knew about that piece of software - I'll look into that.

I must admit that I were not able to "import" the linked ZX Basic files into a Emulator (or real ZX Spectrum) - a hint for a software that can read that ".pro"-files would be very helpful.tomxp411 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 5:46 pm This is the first microdrive file manager I've found, doing some quick searching:

I assume that does not work with an original ZX Interface 1/ZX Microdrive?Dan Antohi wrote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwukyQ7iNyg

They're just binaries.
Certainly with Spectaculator you can redirect RS232 input from those files and then LOAD *"b" / SAVE *"m";1; as per the documentation.

Oh dear, that's just tooo easy! Thank you very much, that worked like a breeze.
