Default Re: Gemini 80-Bus System

I am not sure of the file format of the Gotek - The .dmp and indeed the .img file contain most of the infomation that was in the sectors on the disk - the only other bit you need is the encoding scheme which is FM for single density and MFM for double density.

All modern systems have used MFM on floppies - there were a few odd ball systems (eg INTEL MDS MMFM and APPLE).

I am very interested in your experiences with the Gotek - I guess it just keeps "playing" the current track/side as selected.

PS - I have managed to construct a 64k CP/M. MovCPM does not appear to work in my version so I had to use my disk editor to write it to disk.

If you load this into ram you will have to write a little program to turn off the RPM eeprom and then copy it to the correct address
