[cctalk] Re: request for 5.25 floppies

I'll take that offer, thanks Van! And in general, about this experiment: Reviewing my notes when I last explored into this, a little over a year ago: https://forum.vcfed.org/index.php?threads/sharp-ce-510f-disk-drive-looking-… It mentions: 360KB, 9 sector/track, DS/DD. But also, it mentions a peculiar Sharp model number for disk media, specifically "MS-DOS CE-101F" I've so far been unable to find an image of their stock OS, and so I'm just hoping/gambling some distro of either PC-DOS or MS-DOS might work. And their interface on this is a 37-pin, but digging into that (see notes in the link above) I think some of the pins used ended up being different than the pin out described in the IBM manuals for the IBM 5150's standard disk drive controller (that also has a 37-pin connector at the back of it). By reading, it seems pin 4, 6, 10, and 34 were different (but I'm not tech h/w savvy enough to deduce yet if it's just different ordering, or truly different signals along the wiring) One other thing - I think the PC-5000 on bootup (with the cartridges) I recall it saying DOS 2.01 or possibly 2.11 - I don't have the machine near me at the moment, but in a few days I'll be able to check again. -Steve On Wed, Sep 25, 2024 at 12:24 PM Van Snyder via cctalk < cctalk(a)classiccmp.org&gt; wrote:
