Floppy issues?

  • I just received my kit and it's pretty neat but for the life of me I can't seem to read or write with the floppy. It does the default behavior and lights the LED and the head moves when the SD access happens. However, when I use restore and set device 8 to the drive, most everything yields either "?DOS: READ ERROR" or I believe a device not ready. If I try an open 15,8,15,"N0:,0" then the head moves (albeit with a strange step pace) but ends with that dos read error. I also tried to read known good 1581 disks which also didn't work (I don't know if that should work).

    So....am I doing something wrong? Does real floppy access even work? I thought I read that it does but maybe I am mistaken or something changed?

    Thank you for any help,

    Greg

  • Hi Greg,

    we discovered a minor bug in the release bitstream. (Paul is already working on it) so the internal drive (read/write) is not working at the moment.

    a fix (Hickup file) will be released shortly.

    External connected drives work. (but remember you have to set the drive ID in the freezer menu.

    i.e. your external drive is "8" then you should go in the freezer menu (by holding RESTORE for about 0.5s) then press "8" to change the ID from the internal drive from 8 to 10.

    Then press F3 to resume. Now you should be able to acces your external (as 8 configured) drive.

    Snoopy from here already created a ROM patch for the C65 911001 ROM. this patch configures the internal drive to 10 automatically:
