The GoTek is a great idea. I saw a matching TEC drive on auction but it was far too rich for my tastes .. $200. It would be nice as a spare, but not at that price.
I was also doing some reading and I didn't realize that the DVI was basically a small computer in its own right. It has a Z80 clone for a CPU, 4K of RAM, some ROM, the video memory, and the character ROM. I'm almost thinking that I want to reverse engineer the boot code on the diskette and then start making alterations to have it do unnatural things. :) Mike On Fri, Oct 25, 2024 at 9:18 AM John R.
