Default Re: Gemini 80-Bus System

Julie: Thank you for your input. I have a couple of BBCs here which I used to develop and test the Telstar Viewdata system, one of them has a DataCentre and the other has a Gotek. I was thinking of checking the disk images but you have saved me the trouble, many thanks.

Thanks for sharing the code, I will take a proper look. I have been using some python scripts to re-arrange the disk formats and this has worked reasonably well so far.

John: I had completely missed the fact that CP/M is designed to output to the IVC. Clearly I need to look at this next.

In addition, as I now have the physical drive working (albeit at 35 tracks on an 80 track drive) what I would love to do is write the sectors directly to the disk. The issue for me is that the only machines I have that support 5.25 inch drives are the BBCs and the Gemini. Ho Hum.
