| Instead of 150ohm resistors, I have used 220ohm resistors on the following: DiskIO v1 chipset: i8272 + FDC9229BT SBC-188 chipset: WDC37C65BJM The main reason for changing the value was that I could not readily find 150ohm SIPs. 220ohm SIPs are easy to find. –John On 07/22/2013 04:36 PM, Douglas Goodall wrote: <blockquote> Frank, I don't have experience with the ECB based floppy interfaces so I cannot answer authoritatively about your resistor network.

What happens is this , I start the fdtst program , use the setup to select the right device and the right conf for that device, it is a 3½“ PC floppydrive, 1,44 MB and the diskette is also 1,44 MB - brandnew. Then I select to format - select disk and Yes , and of it goes - the drive spins and the head is moving and on the screen i can see the numbers increase as expected, it finishes - nothing indicates that anything is wrong. Then I do a verify - first track , first side (0) and first sector it writes that the data is wrong - not as expected. The same happens if I choose just a single track or a single sector and it happens on all my drives - also 51/4” 1,2 MB , the drives Works fine in a pc and also the diskettes, and with the same cable - I have tried both a twisted and a not twisted cable - same problem. IDE part Works fine on both SF Cards and real HD's I have choosen a 1 K as the resistor-Network , could it be that it should be 150 Ohm's instead ? best regards Frank Den torsdag den 11. juli 2013 05.13.31 UTC+2 skrev douglas_goodall: > Frank, Multifmt is just for the hard drives, SD and CF. Sysgen will put a system image on a floppy for you. I use the fdtst program to do the low level format on the floppy, then sysgen to put the OS where it needs to go. Once you do that the floppy will be bootable.
