Re: Question about 600-B board

Pin 20 and 21 are bridged on the bottom of the board on my unit. They then go to W6 as a single trace.

Re: Building the KLyball D-13

I have narrowed things down a bit. When the machine is cold, the disk boots fine for the first few minutes. After that, it fails around track 7. So its definitely hardware, and its likely heat related. I ran an exhaustive memory test overnight and all the ram checked out fine. I have replaced the AC...

Re: OSI Disk Re-creation Project

I am using the macro assembler that is part of this program: http://www.cc65.org

The first part is a small program that runs on a Challenger that takes commands and data from a host (Mac, PC, Etc) that will send it disk track and sector data for the purposes of re-constructing floppy disks. Here is my first cut for the Challenger slave portion...

Re: Building the KLyball D-13

I am using, firstly the Epson dual 3.5 and 5.25 drive with disks I created about 3 weeks ago with that drive. I suspected the ...

Re: Building the KLyball D-13

Well I am having problems getting my Superboard to boot. I have made a boot disk from OS65 v3.1 for C1P but it gets 7 tracks in and hangs. I have dumped the disk and compared it to the split files and it is perfect. I have tried 2 different drives making a boot disk with each drive. It worked a mont...

I also made a schematic to help figure out the signals when hooking up other floppy drives. See attached.

Re: 200ns 2114s on eBay

Yup, it's a typo. I bought 100 and not one was bad. The pins are a bit flimsy but that's all. They work.
