Success creating new Model II disks with ImageDisk 1.18 and an FDADAP adapter

To get the AHA-1542CF working, I simply disabled the motherboard floppy controller in BIOS, and enabled the floppy controller on the Adaptec card via it's DIP switch. IMD then sees it just like any other floppy drive, either A: or B: depending on which connector you plug into the FDADAP. Remember, PC floppy are actually set as DS2 (not DS1) so if you want your internal 8" TRS-80 drive which is set to DS1 to show up as A:, you need to plug it into the B: drive connector on a standard PC floppy cable, of use a straight through 34 pin cable between the PC and the FDADAP.

Those of you with model 2's if you need blank 8" Floppies I have a good stash that came with my large Collection. The ones I will let go are still in the original sealed packages. I have them in 4pk's of 3 in large envelopes for $25.00 Pay Pal preferred. I have 4 Sets available.
