Not trying to ridicule Steven or Dave; just pointing out that once you
start adding/expanding there might not be a stopping point to that career
I can only conclude that I've caught folks on a bad day, but let me set
everyone straight:
- I was not complaining about Imagedisk. I think it's a great program.
- I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't let me specify a drive higher than
D. That's the extent of my concern. I just wanted to take a shot at
seeing if it would talk to the Compaticard FDC. It won't. I'm dealing
with it.
Now that I know it doesn't support anything but the NEC 765, I'll have to
build an adapter to connect the 8" drive to the internal floppy
controller. Not a big deal, honestly, can we stop with the lecturing and
sarcasm, please?
If my prior request sounds reasonable, then I have an on-point question:
I have read the Imagedisk docs and looked at the on-screen help, but
cannot see any obvious way to tell it that an 8" drive is attached.
Specifically, the FDC test program has options only for BIOS recognized
drives, 1.2M, 1.4M and, I think, one other. What tells it there's an 8"
drive out there?
