Two drives for PC8801
Two drives for PC8801
Hi
When connecting the HxC to the PC8801 I was not able to use both the A and B drive. The PC8801 has two connectors, one for the A drive and one for the B drive. The solution was to connect the HxC to the drive A connector and run one wire from the B drive pin 10 (motor A enable) to the B drive pins on the HxC.

The two floppy disk connector are in fact the same floppy disk bus.

Yes, nice pictures.
Are you using a simple PC-8801 ? (first generation)

Hi,
I have a revision F SD HxC from Lotharek. I'm trying to put this into a PC-8801 MA but the revision F HxC has DIP switches instead of jumpers.
Any idea how I should connect Drive B pin 10 to the HxC?
Thanks.

Re: Two drives for PC8801
Any one of the 4 pins (drive B), the side turned toward the board border.

Re: Two drives for PC8801
Hi
I recently bought a PC-8801FH and I'd like to use a single HxC emulator for both drives but I'm confused by this thread. Would the HxC Max work for this, and if so how would I do it since it only has the 34 pin connector and DIP switches? Otherwise I'll look into one of the other HxC models.

Re: Two drives for PC8801
Hi guys.
I use a HxC MAX for my PC-8801 MKII SR with 2 drives emulation and works perfectly.
I use also a special connector that I bought in Yahoo Japan Auctions.
The DIP SWITCHES configuration of the HXC MAX must be: 1 & 7 ON, the rest off.
You can find more information on the following links

Hope this help.
