Default Re: Gemini 80-Bus System

For the drive to appear you need support within the bios. I don't have a copy of a Gemini Bios for a hard disk - but I am sure someone will.

The xebec controller has a jumper for 256 or 512 byte sectors you will need to set this correctly.

Normally drives with a SCSI interface are already formatted. Drives that have the MFM interface and are controlled by the xebec adapter will need to be formatted. I don't know where you scsi emulator fits in with this, but I suspect that the drive does not need to be formatted as you have a SCSI emulator. See attached....

to compile these you need the gemzap program do the following

gemzap
=rwinch
=a o=winch
=q
