A few monthes ago there was a discussion about modifieng 12 secor packs to
make them 16.
very handy but not something I have the equiopment to to, however I have
been experimenting with softsectoring an RK05 and tonight got a susessfull
16 sectore format of a 12 sector pack.
Im pulling out the raw secotor/index pulse train from the M7700, feeding
this into a PIC18F8720 and using this to synthesize a 16 sector train which
is fed back into the M7700, ok it does mean I have to modify the M7700 but
its only 1 cut track and 2 wires out, also its not at all peroid correct (
sorry Tony ) but if it means I can have more than the 1 usable 16 sector
pack I have right now then im a happy bunny.
When I have done some more testing and tided it up a bit I will post more
details, probably via the
vintage-computer.com DEC forum as its quite
active and I expect most DEC people here keep an eye on it
