P.S. To keep this on-topic, does anyone have
instructions on the hack to
convert the above-mentioned floppy controller to be able to handle 3.5" HD
floppy drives? I'd *love* to have a 1.44Meg floppy formatted under OS/9...
:-) Also, is there any way (without reconstructing the 6 million dollar
man...) to get two floppy controllers online using the MultiPak?
My recollection was that there were several different vartieties. Each
one will have slightly different issues.
To add 3.5" HD floppies, you will need to provide a different clock, way
to change it back and forth, and support for one more signal to the drive.
Why do you want to run more than one FDC? If it is to run 4 instead of 2
drives, you can do that with minor hardware and software hacks to a
controller.
