I hope to reach all the big Tandy owners with some useful information about using
the IDE harddisk with LS-Dos 6.3.1a.
I do have a Model II and a Model 12, one with a graphics board and both with a hans-02 / Lo-Tech interface.
I have a 128Mb DOM with a lot of software and graphics programs. It is possible now to distribute
the data on the Dom as an image.
A lot of Model4 graphic files run on model II's and GBASIC63/CMD runs most of the graphic BAS files.
They are all on the DOM, not all tested, there always keeps something to do.
Here is how to use the DOM, convert the file https://www.dropbox.com/s/rdmpphpd6qr9vyf/BOOTLD6.IMD?dl=0 to a bootable disk.
The disk contains the drivers and the harddisk setup.
Now program the DOM. First download the image https://www.dropbox.com/s/ypyl623b906engq/2.imgc?dl=0 .
Connect the powercable to the DOM (You can order one with the DOM) or modify the IDE adapter (picture 4) and carefully open the device
and connect +5 volt to pin 20 of the 40 pin connector. Now you don't need the powercable
Build a connection cable (picture 2). Connect the ide adapter and the DOM with the connectioncable (picture 4)
Download and install HDD RAW COPY TOOL 1.10 from www.hddguru.com set source (the image file) and destination (the DOM)
and load the image (picture 5)
This way of backup and restore DOM image is developed by GAZZA (Thanks for that)
Now install the hans-02 and boot from the created bootdisk.
Have fun
