I've used a Shugart 801R with Imagedisk, and it
works very nicely. I
laid out a small pcb to simplify the connections and could have more
made up if there were any interest.
I would be interested. My wiring of the
adapters looks like a bird's nest, but not wuite as organized. I did by an fdadap, but
I could use some more adapters. What do you do for DS/SS sensing? I ended up using a small
toggle switch.
I use Tandon 848 double sided drives with imagedisk. They work very well, you just have to
keep the heads clean.
Dave Dunfield was invaluable in helping me work thru issues getting
single density to work properly. I ended up with an Adaptec ISA scsi
adapter card for the floppy controller which works well (it's
a 1522a).
I can't say enough good things about Mr. Dunfield nor ImageDisk. I
have made images of Tandy 2000 QD 5.25" disks, Tandy mixed density 8" disks, and
PC compatible disks.
What ImageDisk can't handle I save for the catweasel.
