Problem with 8" SS_SD image
Problem with 8" SS_SD image
Hello,
i have a problem when writing to the diskimage over the SD-Card Emulator to an image of a 77Track_SS_SD Disk.
There are 26 sectors of 128 Byte on each track.
The reading goes fine, but when i write to it, i get the Display "WET" as shown and there is no alteration in the image,
when i write 52 sectors over two tracks. Don't confuse with the "RA" in the picture. This happens by writing.
I have no further idea.
Regards, Frank

Are you trying to format the floppy disk ?Frank wrote:Hello,

What is your firmware version ?
Can you provide the hfe file used ?
Re: Problem with 8" SS_SD image
Hi Jeff,
thanks for your answer.
No, not format, i only want to write only per sector one by one.
The hfe i use is like the picture attached.
The FDC is an WD1793 with an 9216 Data seperator.
As i write before, reading of the sectors is no problem.
The firmware is the newest: 1.6.0.0

(And what is your firmware version ?)
Re: Problem with 8" SS_SD image
Hi Jeff,
i try the attached version, same "WETO" message upon writing.
Firmware is: 1.6.0.0

Re: Problem with 8" SS_SD image
This is strange because WETO means that you are trying to format the disk.Frank wrote:Hi Jeff,

What are you doing to get this ?
Re: Problem with 8" SS_SD image
Hi Jeff,
the following program (i8085), which works in Double-Density with 512 Byte sectors with the SD-Emulator.

Re: Problem with 8" SS_SD image
If you are sure that you are not doing a format command, you must check that you are writing into the right format according to the HFE file : FM mode at 500kbits/s
There are maybe a bitrate problem.

Re: Problem with 8" SS_SD image
Hi Jeff,
the failure belongs to me.
For FM i modified the CLK for the dataseperator.
For the CLK for the WD1793 i supply 1MHz.
This is not right for 500KHz FM writing.
I wired it to 2MHz and it works.
Thank you, Frank

EDIT : By curiosity what is this hardware ?
Re: Problem with 8" SS_SD image
Hi Jeff,
The Hardware is an "MFA Mikrocomputer" with an i8085 processor.
I begun at null with an Bootstraploader in the Eprom to load sector 1 at track 0.
My target is to load CP/M 2.2, but i think im am lightyears apart from this.

Interesting ! But the original bootstrap was lost ?Frank wrote:Hi Jeff,

Frank
Or are you recoding it to load CP/M ?
Re: Problem with 8" SS_SD image
Yes, i have no dedicated software for this hardware.
I have to build it from zero.

Re: Problem with 8" SS_SD image
ok i have see what is exactly an "MFA Mikrocomputer" and i understand why there no bootstrap. In fact this must be done by the studentsFrank wrote:Yes, i have no dedicated software for this hardware.

Thanks for sharing this!
Re: Problem with 8" SS_SD image
Hi Jeff,
now i have the next problem.
I create a diskimage in MFM/26sector/128byte/80track/300UPM/250000bitrate.
When i write to the disk, i get "WABS:131" or "RABS:131" in the Display.
What does it mean?
