I have been trying to get my HxC to operate in some of my vintage CP/M computers - eg Osborne, Kaypro... these all typically use the same floppy drive hardware -
CP/M General: 5.25", 512byte sectors, 8 sectors per track, 40 tracks- giving 160kB SSSD or 320kB DSDD . SSSD is 82kB
IBM PC is : 5.25", 512byte sectors, 9 sectors per track, 40 tracks- giving 180kB SSSD or 360kB DSDD .
The disk hardware is very interchangeable, and a 360KB DSDD drive that works in an IBM PC will generally work fine in one of these CP/M machine without modifications (save for drive select jumpers and cable twists which are easy to sort out) and vice-versa.
Using Dave Dunfields ImageDisk 1.17 I can create IMD files using a PC with 5.25" DSDD 360kB drive just fine - and write the images back to floppies perfectly - I use double-step - and they work perfectly in the CP/M machines.
I am curious to the settings I need to use in the HxC software -- while the IBM PC selections seem geared towards higher desnsities or 3.5" sizes it seems to allow Shugart standard. I've managed to load IMD files onto the HxC SD card, and when connected to the Kaypro or Osbore Executive it appears to seek however it wont read the images.
If anyone has settings or screen dump showing configuration to allow use at typical 5.25" DSDD/ SSDD / SSSD
Cheers

Post some of your osborne file image, i will generate for you some hfe files for test.severed wrote:I have been trying to get my HxC to operate in some of my vintage CP/M computers - eg Osborne, Kaypro... these all typically use the same floppy drive hardware -

Thank you Jeff
I have done some work on the Kaypro 4-84 this afternoon - It's the easiest machine to work on and has the easiest disk formats.
I have generated a known-working IMD file of a bootable System Disk.
I first made sure the master copy was 100% OK by making a duplicat eon the Kaypro and verifying each track as it copied. I then tested I could copy the entire disk to a blank in second drive. Once sure that the master copy was 100% OK, I extracted it to an IMD file, and then wrote that IMD back to a blank floppy using IMD. I verified it boots in the Kaypro and can be used to copy it's entire contents to another disk in the Kaypro.
Once I had it verified I placed all the technical details inside the IMD's description fields - these may be useful to you and are duplicated below
The file is inside a ZIP to make it easier to download:
http://www.kaypro.net/diskimages/kaypro ... KAY4D1.zip
Details:
KAYPRO 4-84
5.25" DS DD (Single Step)
Layout: 10 x 512bytes sectors per track. 40 tracks. 2 sides.
10 x 40 x 2 = 800 sectors (800 x 512 = 409,600 bytes/disk
Skew Tables:
0/0: 0 8 3 6 1 9 4 7 2 5
0/1: 10 18 13 16 11 19 14 17 12 15
Data Rate: 250kbps
R/W Gap 1: 7
Format Gap 2: 14
I hope this IMD and the specs above are able to help you create a hfe file that will work!
I think the HxC will be invaluable to collectors of these old CP/M machines and if we have an easy recepie for getting it working it'll benefit the community.
Thanks!

In fact it's problably a gap setting problem in the IMD loader.severed wrote:Thank you Jeff

Try this :
->Load the IMD file into the software.
->"Export " -> Select IMG type.
->"Load Raw image":
Set the right floppy disk format. Set the GAP3 to 12.
"Load RAW file"-> select the exported img file.
->"Export"-> Select HFE type. -> try this new HFE floppy image on the real hardware....

Thanks for posting beta version. When I load my KAYPRO 4 image I get the following log output:

mhhh this is not an IMD file (no IMD file header....)
how did you create it ?
EDIT : try this one :
https://hxc2001.com/floppy_drive_emulat ... KAY4D1.IMD
That looks better Jeff!!!
You know -- the header "IMD 1.17: 14/10/2010 22:53:46" is missing because I use IMDU with the Header Update option!!!
I said "Once I had it verified I placed all the technical details inside the IMD's description fields"
I though this just updated the "comments" section - didn't realise it stripped out the important header too!!
OK - now I have an HFE file - I am going to test this out this evening on the Kaypro
One question - wasn't sure what to set SECTOR ID START to - I left it at 1 - if I have trouble I'll set it to 0
Thanks,
Grant

Jeff - you are right!
I just then used the batch convert and converted 9 KAYPRO disk images directly to the CF card - inserted it into the HxC and it booted the Kaypro!!!
I did make some changes to the CFG file to set it to Shugart, not sure if that helped or was ignored.
I am really impressed! I have just tested it with a few disks and it reads them perfecly! It even writes perfectly too! Even with it emulating two disks and writing between them it's fine too.
I will attempt to tackle the Osborne (SSDD, 5 X 1024) and the Access Matrix (DSDD\SSDD 9 X 512) this weekend!
I will document all my settings and make a blog post and be sure to refer people to the device. This will be soemthing very highly soght after in the CP/M collecting community!
Thanks for your time Jeff,
