Subject: Switching DFS on Model B
Hi,
I am borrowing a BBC model B from a friend with the solidisk dual
controller DFS and sideways ram. I want to load a DFS rom image to the
sideways ram and select that one to use.
How can you switch between different DFS roms installed on a model B ?
I know how to do it on the master with the plug/unplug and configure
commands, not sure on the model B. I am trying to get my 3.5HD drive to wor
k
on a model B. Have tried on 8271 with DFS1.2 and I understand I need the
patched DFS to fix timing, I am hoping to try this on my friends machine as
I have been trying to get hold of an eprom programmer.
I have also tried on a Master and Model B+, both with 1770 controller and
1770 DFS 2.2x. It worked first time on the master, but disk just spins on
the model B+. I know some of you have had success just plugging the drives
in, but I have not been able to get the drive to run on a model B and can
not find anything on the resources or guides. I would appreciate if someone
could help and point me in the right direction,
Regards,
Paul.
