i solved in totally different way, a 1541 can't hold a D64 in the first place,
2nd my
dir shower/browser only displays valid 35 track/no error info d64 files.

don't have this yet since it only copies file from the d64 to another/the same
drive.
no diskcopy yet (busy with other stuff lately)

> F7/F8 moves to the next/previous possible partition.

euh, how do you know what and how many partitions that are availeble?
$=p doesn't bring up any info on my 1581 so i don't have a clue.

F5 lets you browse dir and d64 files.

it's a must, there are a lot of games/mags/demos outthere that only use
like 1/4 or less of the disk space but need to be (bam)back-upped, you'll
save a lot of time by bamcopying those.
