WD-1793-based RS Color Computer floppy controller for a decent price thru
them... (which had a different ROM hacked into it... I'd like to see what's
on it. ;-)
Ebay doesn't control what it's customers auction at their site... We may at
times disagree with Ebay's policies & politics, but let's try to lay blame
where blame is due, eh?
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?
Hi Roger
Although, not a 1793 and not a 6809, I have been making code
on a 80C186 for the 2793 chip, which is vary similar to a 1793.
I've been reading and writing, preformatted, 1.44MB disk.
I don't know what the hardware difference is between the
QD and DD disk ( I should but don't remember ). I think it
is just the frequency of the circuit. Some is in assembly
and some is in Forth, if you are interested.
