Folks, my CoCo SDC works fine in my CoCo II (US Rev B), and I just updated the firmware yesterday. However, I can't get it to work in my TANO Dragon.
I have set the jumpers like in the picture attached, and I am getting the DOSPLUS 5.0. However, from there, I am unable to do anything. Trying to mount a drive VDK or DSK image, I am always getting some weird error messages. And I can't find any documentation. I am assuming that there is something wrong with my TANO? Cartridges and 3.5" floppy disk also work well, but I didn't have luck with a 5.25 color computer mini drive (for that, I am using Ian Mavric's replicate disk controller). Anyhow, that's a different issues.
I tried mounting a VDK / DSK image using DRIVE 0, "DISK.VDK" (DRIVE 1, "DISK.DSK" etc.), as well as MOUNT 1, "DISK.VDK" (and also with and without .DSK / .VDK extension). I can also see the drive activity LED coming on. But then, I usually get some error. DRIVES doesn't work either. The SDC is working fine with the CoCo II. Not sure what I am doing wrong? I am not sure why none of this is documented in the CoCo SDC manual...
