Hi, today I've got this wonderful RK05 disk emulator. In fact it is a double drive with a 'fixed platter' and a 'removable disk'. The 'fixed' part always loads the same disk image from the zip disk. So that is for your OS. You can load another disk image onto the 'removable disk' by selecting the image number with the switch on the right top corner. I've got it with some little power problems, one broken display and an oxidated connector pin, but it is up and running again.
But... There is space for a lot more memory chips. So I wonder, can I emulate a RK05F too? And the unit is configured for 12 sector packs. I wonder if it is possible to set it for 16 sector packs as well... There are many jumpers and dip switches in the drive. I don't want to mess with it, but I would love to have any documentation for this device. And even a user manual would be great, I don't have any documentation about this drive. In fact I could not find any information at all on the internet about the drive... Forum member Geerol58 explained to me how to use it, that is all the information I have.
So any information would be highly appreciated :D
Regards, Roland
