Description

GEMDOS drive was working >6 months ago. Now cannot find drive error. GEMDOS drive is a good functionality to have as it is possible to auto start the game on the HDD using a floppy with "saved desktop". Much faster access than floppy for larger games.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the GEMDOS drive "cannot find drive" error in the current Hatari version and compare it with the behavior from more than six months ago. Check whether a saved desktop floppy can still auto-start a game from the HDD; done means GEMDOS drive access works reliably for that workflow.
