Is there an easy way to implement swapping between HxC and internal Floppy drive on an Emulator 1?

Ideally I'd want to do this while the power is on.

I realize I could switch it with one of those big massive printer port type switches (or two) but I was wondering if there is a more elegant and simple solution such as changing the devices ID etc?

As always, thanks for your help.

Mike

Just use a switch to exchange DS0 <-> DS1.

That's all ;)

Hey there, could you please elaborate, I'm a little confused by what you are saying..

Do you mean swap the ID of both drives (HxC and E1's internal drive)?

ie, make HXC DS0 and E1's DS1, then swap to make HxC DS1 and E1's DS0 ?

Kind regards
Mike

Jeff you write "Just use a switch to exchange DS0 <-> DS1."

yes... but when I switch the HxC in DS1 position, like that (jumper : # red) :

3 2 1 0
x x x x Drive B
x x # x
x x # x Drive A

The Emulator II is able to read disk images but unable to write or format the same disk image :?

Any error message ?

Sur l'Emulator II :
Disk [1-8]
DiskFormat Error


Et sur le HxC :
OS_3.1.hfe
S:000/080 S:0


Et oui si le HxC est ID0 ca fonctionne parfaitement et donc fonctionne pour la copie des sons et des formats speciaux du HxC vers lecteur de disquettes.

Mais il faut absolument qu'il soit en ID1 (second) pour permettre la copie des boot secteurs particulier de certaines disquettes.
Comme les disquettes : Test mémoire, Test scanner, Test sons, et même copie de version d'OS...

Car le logiciel de l'Emulator ne copie bas niveau (fonction 8 [8-FORMAT DISK] se qui implique un formatage suivi de la copie du boot strap) que du lecteur I vers le lecteur 2.

Alors que pour les sons il est possible de les charger sur le 1 et le 2 et des les sauver sur le 1 ou 2 :)

oui regarde ma réponse au dessus

alors que ca fonctionne tres bien en faisant :

A) chargement d'un son a partir du lecteur 0 dans l'emulator
B) sauvegarde d'un son de l'emulator vers le lecteur 1

:roll:
