[xybots]

hi every one i have just mangaed to get my amstrad 6128 working again, and i have connected my usb floppy emulator to it via a external lead, and it is working as drive a: when i type "cat"

i can read a disk on the usb floppy emulator when running cat, but when trying to load a game it starts loading but then comes up with "drive a read fail"

ive tried a few dsk images and still the same is there any other jupers i have to put on the lead other than 23-24.

thanks for a great emulator board hope i get this working soon on the amstrad.

hi jeff

thanks for your help this emulator board is awesome it works fine on my amiga atari st and now i want to try and get it working on my amstrad.

i have tried a new version of the software loader and a old version and still the same happens thanks

any help would be greatful and thanks.

also i have a picture on my laptop but have never put pictures on this forum so not sure how to do it.

if you disconnected the internal disk drive you don't need to add the wire between pin 23&24.

You just have to set the right "Drive ID setting" by choosing "MOTOR ON".

hi jeff thanks for your help so just to clarify i have to go into the settings and click motor on, and horay it works thanks mate you are a star.

my 6128's floppy drives are not working so this floppy emulator saves me grief again.

thanks
