You mean like this? That's an old game display (xbox 360?) clamped on to my M100 back in the day, with an extended cable going back to the DVI. >One question I must ask, how easy is it to read the contents of the disk >images on a regular pc?

I always meant to look into that but never got around to it; apart from the novelty I really only used the DVI for the display and just loaded/saved the usual RS232 way. But there were quite a few parameter-driven format conversion programs around in the old days to deal with the hundreds if not thousands of different 'standards' used by the various manufacturers, so I'd be surprised if it couldn't be done; maybe someone on here has in fact already done it.

My DVI is currently in storage, but I’ve been meaning to bring it out and swap the US PSU inside with a 240v unit I bought a while back. I’m no expert when it comes to using the DVI, I had a play about with it and really enjoyed the fact I could write with a proper display connected. One question I must ask, how easy is it to read the contents of the disk images on a regular pc? If say I wrote a document and wanted to access it on my laptop, is that possible? Many thanks! And great job getting your gotek to work, this has inspired me to do the same 😊 Sent from my iPad On 8 May 2023, at 4:21 pm, Gary Wilkinson <[email protected]> wrote: No, I think it was my fault. I missed out the “ [m100dvi]” you listed at the start of the FF.CFG file on your email Josh. I’m currently making a couple of blank images now to hold saved data & basic program. Thanks again for your help! Sent from my iPhone On 8 May 2023, at 15:53, Josh Malone <[email protected]> wrote: I suspect the issue may be cskew=1 which is missing from my CFG. Grimakis is also using interface=shugart (vs. mine using 'ibmpc') so that will require the different drive number jumpering (effectively swapping 1 and 0 -- LFILES 0 might have worked) Yeah, everyone should use Grimakis's files and ignore what I posted :) -Josh On Mon, May 8, 2023 at 10:45 AM Gary Wilkinson <[email protected]> wrote: Success!!!! I copied the CFG files from Grimakis GitHub and they worked!! I’ll now puzzle back and see what I had missed in my original CFG files, but for now I’m really delighted to have it working. Thanks guys for all the help!!

When I just have the Gotek drive installed I get the error “In Drive0 is NOT a SYSTEM DISKETTE” If I configure the Gotek as drive 1 and boot from the floppy, I’m ok until I try and do a directory of drive 1 (LFILES 1) and then I get the error “?AT Error” Puzzling 🙁 Sent from my iPhone On 8 May 2023, at 14:51, Josh Malone <[email protected]> wrote: On Mon, May 8, 2023 at 7:42 AM Gary Wilkinson <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Josh! It was your YouTube video that inspired me to try this! I asked a question in the comments, but I think you use a streaming service and so must have missed it. I’ve been updating my comments as I go along so others have an idea how to set this up. Thanks for the initial inspiration and for responding in here :) Ah, yes - The "Amigos" folks re-post (with my permission) many of my live Twitch streams to YT and, of course, I don't get notified of comments there. I should probably come up with a way to fix that. -Josh
