I need a little help here. I have the following:
Poqet Model No. PQ0164
Poqet 3.5" Drive Model No. PQ0511
Link Cable Model No. 0545
The connectors on the Drive are labeled:
"Floppy Controller" (female, 25pin DB)
"Serial Port" (male, 9pin DB)
The connectors on the Link Cable are: female, 25pin DB and female, 9pin DB
Since the 25pin connector is the wrong gender, I'm assuming it is not the correct
cable to
interface the Poqet to the drives. But I could be wrong. Perhaps only a gender changer
is
needed.
Questions:
1) Is the Link Cable above, the correct cable to interface the Poqet to the floppy drive?
2) If it is, should I be using a gender changer and connect to the "floppy controller
connector"
(seems likely) or to the Serial Port, which does not require any gender changer?
3) Assuming this is the correct cable, is there any other software that is required,
beyond
what is available on the Poqet ROM? I hope, since I have no other software.
4) I assume some config.sys or autoexec.bat entries are required to access this 3.5"
floppy
drive. Anyone have a the correct configuration to access these Poqet drives?
On a slightly different subject:
1) I also have two RAM modules plugged into the ports on the back. How does one access
these RAMs? As drives? I don't see anything that allows access to these.
Can anyone explain how to gain access to the 512K RAM and the 64K RAM modules.
Thanks,
