Hello everyone,
I received my shiny 23 year old Cumana disk interface for the QL
yesterday and am now trying to wire it up to a 'modern' 3.5 pc floppy
drive... So far, the results have been mediocre at best. I have
QDOS-formatted a DD floppy on the Q-emuLator but when I hook up the
drive to the

You are right in assuming modern drives are seen as flp2_.
It may have a DS jumper somewhere if you want flp1_. These now are
generally solder jumpers on the pcb, but it may have external links.
One of my three drives does have the solder pad to change the setting
but I would be

Hi Peter,
thanks for sharing your experiences, very interesting stuff. There
also seems to be an ethernet shield or a daughterboard module for
the Arduino microcontroller platform which is based around the Wiznet
W5100 chip which Miguel mentioned. This combination would be an

Yeah, I know... On the other hand, I'm looking at this as a
FWIW. I think that you will probably be able to FORMAT the 3.5 disk via
the Cumana interface if you _cover_ the indexing hole and thereby ensure
that the dumb device isn't confused when it tries to format the HD disk
as a 720K disk ...

Thanks, I actually had some 720k disks from way back so didn't have to
use the tape trick.
I salvaged yet another floppy drive from one of the old carcasses at
the office and this one actually works! It seems that the cumana
interface is very finicky about the kind of drive it talks to (which
