Thomson TO8D - Gotek with HXC firmware - file questions

Post by Tri-City-Maniac »

Hi,

well, there was an 5 year old TO8D thread in this forum, but mostly in french ... and all translators suck like hell ... so i want to open new one ...

I installed a gotek with the hxc firmware in one of my TO8D and converted the normal fd files with the following settings:

All i further know is, that i should rename the converted hfe files to DSKA0000 and so on for the indexed mode. So ... is the indexed mode the right one for the Thomson files or would there be other options which will work?

Thanks in advance.

Indexed mode should be used if you have not added he LCD screen mod.

Why not just load/drag & drop the FD file into the hxc software ? fd files are directly supported.

Well, i can't see, that fd files are supported directly, 'cause on the main page you wrote:
FD files can be loaded with the raw image loader (in the gui software) with these parameters :
MFM-256bytes/sector or FM-128bytes/sector, 16 sectors/tracks, 2 or 1 sides.
If fd files would work directly, the page should be updated, thanks.

Is there are reason for attacking me? Ich don't think so. I asked in a polite was and you react like a arrogant and unpolite person. THIS here is YOUR page and among the introduction there is no info about the direct support. That is al i've said. Anyway, delete my account and thanks for nothing. You have a very bad behaviour. Good luck and have a nice life.
