Sunday ZOOM #0018 ... FDD Connections ...

[Walt Perko]

Hi, 

I guess Patrick can give us a demo on his FDD connection with the FDC+ board.  

Start thinking about questions to ask after the demo.  

I'm thinking after the FDD connection and showing the FDD working demo maybe a bit on how to create a BOOT Floppy Disk.  What software, how the software works, and how to write the image onto the blank floppy.  

What kinds of floppy disks should be used with CP/M 2.2 and FDDs ... is it soft sector, hard sector, how many sector holes in the hard sector disk etc.  

Does the system work the same with a 5-14" TEAC 55 as a 3-1/2" FDD?  

How about setting up a GoTek (older versions and newer versions) for another ZOOM meeting?
