Access USB stick in Pico

Hi all,

I’m trying to access a USB stick in Pico, but my knowledge is rather limited to the BBC Master, and I don’t think that *TAPE will quite do the job.

*usbdevices gives:

No: 4
Bus: 1
Dev: 4
Class: 0/0
Description: Kingston DataTraveler

Any help would be gratefully received. I don’t know if this needs to be mounted, how I would mount it, if it can be mounted, nor how I would go about mounting it if I had to do so.

“*USB” would be ideal, but I’m guessing it’s not that simple…

“*devices” reports the stick’s size, which is a significant step forward.

Now to switch to it….

No idea about “RISC OS Pico”, but it looks like using
*scsifs
to switch to the “right” filing system (all USB harddiscs/sticks are handled as SCSI drives) followed by
*drive 4
should work.

Ah, brilliant, thanks. It was as simple as I hoped.

In actual fact, I only had to do:

*SCSI

..and *. gave me the empty directory listing for the USB drive, allowing me to save a BASIC program. Excellent. Thanks.

Oh, I successfully managed to get the Welcome disk from the Beeb running on RISC OS Pico:
