Yesterday I finally connected FreHD to the Model 16B via the Type 2 HDC.
As you will see in the video, all was going fine until the reboot at the end, and the system just locks up while loading the OS.
I used FreHD firmware 2.14, a special version of the FreHD GAL which has all the extra features of FreHD removed (essentially making FreHD a pure hard drive with no RTC, etc.) The DOS used is TRSDOS 2.0 with Hard Drive Initialisation 4.1
Does anyone know for sure whether this DOS is for an 8meg drive? It counts cylinders up to 1024 which is confusing..
I may need a more up to date DOS... TRSDOS 2.0 / HD Init 4.1 dates back to 1981/82 so maybe something newer?
Any thoughts or tech help would be much appreciated.
