Hello,
I have Corsham Tech 6809 SWPTC clone with motherboard, 6809 cpu board, MP-S serial board and // board + SD Arduino floppy emulator.
Everythings works well.
Now I try to get a real floppy system attached to this computer so I will rebuild a Peripheral Tech FD-2 interface (doc and good pictures available, easy).
I have a 5 1/4 360 ko drive and a 3 1/2 1.44 mo I can attach to this system. I also can connect a Gotek with flashfloppy.
In this case no need of the // interface and of the SD card system.
According to Corsham Tech documentation the serial board should be in slot 1. But the PT FD-2 doc say also that this interface should be attached to slot 1.
I imagine this depend of the monitor...
My question are :
- can I use the PT FD-2 with the Corsham system ? For sure yes, the questions are more what adjustment to do ?
- should I modify the Corsham monitor to do that ? what are roughly the modifications to do ?
- can I use the original SWPTC Monitor SBUG18 instead of Corsham monitor ? With modification or not ? What are the modifications ?
- what Flex image should I use to boot this system (found more than one on the internet but I dont know what to choose) ?
Thanks for help and opinions about that.
Regards.
Philippe
