Using Netsurf cookies with wget

How can I use Netsurf's cookie file with wget to retrieve a web page
that is only accessible to logged-in users - so that it's visible when I
visit that URL with the browser, but blocked if I try to fetch it with
wget for local processing?

Of course I can simply save the displayed page out of Netsurf manually,
which is what I've been doing for test purposes, but it would be nice to
be able to automate the script slightly further.

I find the IDE interface on the A9home to be quite selective about what it
likes :(

Many years ago, not too long after I had purchased the A9, I changed the
drive for MLC(I think that was the term) based SSD. This worked fine, was
a bit slow at writing. But then started having issues it. Eventually I
settled on an 44 pin IDE to 32GB Compact flash interface that I have been
using in it for quite a number of years now. The read speed on the CF was
good, but was never quick at writing. Finally I have now purchased a 32GB
Sandisk Extreme Pro Compact Flash. This both reads and writes fairly
quickly.

With regards to my question about the capacity of Filecore Formatted
devices on USB. I do have a CF to USB adaptor. This is detected without
problem, and works fine with 1GB CF. When I tried the 32GB, so I could
transfer the data to my new quicker CF card, the whole system just locked
up, resulting in a reboot being required.

I did manage to get at the data, via my Pinebook. I have a folder setup
on that as a ShareFS boot(along with necessary bits for booting A9)(One of
the useful items from the boot menu). I was able to boot the A9 from this
then copy all the data back across from th CF via the Pinebook.

Re: [A9home-list] USB MassFC maximum disk size

Not a direct answer. I newer try. But I think 256GB. I try do this evening.

I found this link in my "linkcollection".

Do you use USBUtils to find the correct settings?

I'm not sure. Maybe I'm wrong.
For the IDEDisc (I change to an 120GB SSD... bigger, faster, cooler
;-)), an HDForm formatted Disc was not usable on a9home. It needs a
IDETools formatted one. So I not know ... Is it the same with an USB device?

[A9home-list] USB MassFC maximum disk size

Anyone know if the there is a maximum disk size for filecore formatted USB
devices? I have one Compact flash at 1Gb that works fine. Another at
32Gb just locks the system when trying to access.

I aware that for MassFS the maximum size if 4GB because for the maximum
RISC OS file size limit, but the devices I am using are formatted filecore
not DOS.

Sorry, no.
I was trying (a lot of attemps) to get the complete stuff (Adapter +
Driver) direct from STD and via the dealer I buy my a9home but we never
get an answer from STD.

I have any different USB Adapter here but no driver. If anyone has an
idea where I can buy the driver, I will do so.

Best wishes for 2022,

[A9home-list] Longshot - ST Developments USB Wifi Adaptor

Longshot I know, but....

Does anyone recall the make and model of the ST Developments USB Adaptor?

Many moons ago I did have one and it worked well until it broke. Sadly it
broke when I was going through a period of doing a lot on RISC OS and at
the time I just disposed of it. Would like to have one again now. Still
have the driver. Just lacking the hardware :(
