SD HxC Autoboot Host Control for TRS-80
SD HxC Autoboot Host Control for TRS-80
Is anyone working on a SD HxC Autoboot Host Control Tool for the TRS-80 machines?
Re: SD HxC Autoboot Host Control for TRS-80
I haven't heard about anyone working on it. Are you thinking about having a go at it?evad wrote:Is anyone working on a SD HxC Autoboot Host Control Tool for the TRS-80 machines?
Things to think about:
* Does the TRS-80 support seek to track 255, which is required to enter Direct Access mode?
* Is the Amstrad (also has Z80 CPU) version a useful starting point? (https://github.com/jfdelnero/HXCFE_Amst ... e_selector)
* Should it be written for Model I/III (rather than just for Model 4/4P) so it can be used with all platforms?
Personally I don't have a need for this utility because I have a RevC HxC and I use the LCD to select the images.

Was hoping someone was already headed in that direction.gonk23 wrote:I haven't heard about anyone working on it. Are you thinking about having a go at it?evad wrote:Is anyone working on a SD HxC Autoboot Host Control Tool for the TRS-80 machines?

Not sure I have the ability to pull that off...

I originally thought it was Frank based on this earlier post: http://torlus.com/floppy/forum/viewtopi ... =26&t=1288Audronic wrote:?? Who is developing this.
But after having a closer look, they are different systems.
So good question, who is the mystery developer?

Sorry I'm not able to send the file right now, I'll do that later today.
I'll also try to upload the software on this forum, if possible...
What kind of issue did you encounter when trying to access the file ?
Thanks !
