By popular demand, Jay and I have set up demime on the ClassicCmp server, and all posts are being filtered through it. From here on out, all posts you get from CC will be in plain text, with no attachments or HTML. If you send file attachments, they will be removed from your post. If you post anything other than plain text messages, plain text will be extracted or rendered as appropriate. Even HTML-only or RTF-only mail is rendered into plain text. Demime tries very hard to convert your post into plain text, but if it simply cannot, it will bounce your post. You don't need to change anything. This change should be totally transparent to all subscribers. Just keep posting or lurking as you always have. A round of thanks goes out to all who suggested the use of a tool like demime.

ARM Evaluation Kit discs

by pete＠dunnington.u-net.com

The saga of the ARM Evaluation Kit discs continues... I still don't have a complete uncorrupted Disc 1, which is the disc containing the editors and assembler for the ARM. Rob, who hoped to make a copy for me has found that his Disc 1 also has a corrupt track in exactly the same place as mine and Kevan's. Perhaps there was a batch of corrput discs from Acorn's disc duplicators. Can I ask anyone who thinks they have Disc 1 for the ARM Evaluation Kit to *please* make an effort to dig it out, and either copy it for me, or lend it? I now know of at least four or five people who would be very grateful. I'll pay for postage etc, of course, by recorded delivery if necessary. I've worked out at least one way to make disc images that should be accessible to a BBC Micro, so if I can get Disc 1 sorted out, I can not only make copies for those who I know want them, but make the images available on a website. Thanks to those who've already made helpful suggestions about disc images. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Problem with 9836C floppy drive--resolved, but I'm not sure why!

by swperk＠earthlink.net

Hi Tony and everyone, Thanks for the suggestions. All of the floppies that I substituted looked absolutely identical to the one that wasn't working. The last thing that I did was to try another floppy drive data cable (it's the standard PC-style dual floppy cable with the 34-pin IDC connector on the controller end and the card edge connector on the other end). When I simply replaced the original cable on the left-hand drive with the new one, the problem remained. When I swapped the cables to each drive (right going to left and left going to right), it worked perfectly! I assume that there must be some sort of drive select or other difference between the two floppy drives, but why the right one works in either location, and the left one works only as the primary (right-hand) drive is beyond me. After I convinced myself that everything was now okay, I physically interchanged the floppies (left to right and right to left) and took the opportunity to examine them very carefully to look for differences. I saw none. Even the date codes were identical! I'm not saying that there aren't any differences--in fact, there must be--but there wasn't anything obvious to me. The only difference with the 9836C that I notice now (besides the obvious lack of an error message at startup) is that the LED on the floppy controller board labeled "TR00" (those are zeroes) is no longer illuminated after the POST. I assume that is a Track 0 seek failure indicator, but I'm just speculating. Whatever the case, I'm delighted that it's fixed! Thanks to everyone for their help and suggestions!

What about the cables to this drive? Have you checked it's getting power (IIRC there's a conventional 4 pin power connector in there). Have you tested/swapped the data cable? -tony

Model 100 DVI drive

by RCini＠congressfinancial.com

Bill: I don't have a CoCo, but I do have a DVI. So I was going to raid the drive from an external CoCo drive that I somehow got and use it in the DVI. I was concerned more with electrical compatibility than software compatibility. I didn't realize that in those machines Tandy used standard floppy drives. I guess by that point in time, many manufacturers (except Apple and Commodore) standardized on an IBM-style drives rather than proprietary setups. I'm sure I'm over-generalizing and will start a sprightly discussion on disk formats :-) Thanks to all who responded. Rich -----Original Message----- From: Bill Allen Jr [mailto:n8uhn@yahoo.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 12:14 AM To: cctech(a)classiccmp.org Subject: Re: Model 100 DVI drive I cannot remember what the model 100 used for a drive. the coco and coco 2/3 both used standard (ibm compatable) mfm, 5 1/4 in, single sided, low density floppy drives. the card edge connector for the coco cable between the interface cart and floppy was a streight thru cable - (pin 1 went to pin 1 etc). i have used standard 360k floppys on the coco - it only uses one side of the diskette for 180k. if the model 100 has the same pinout and uses a standard mfm dirve it should work. btw the coco drive case did have a power supply in it for the drive - power did not come from the cart.

I have a single-drive DVI and a single low-profile CoCo disk drive. They physically look to be the same but I wanted to be sure before I lashed them together. Thanks.
