Re: [emax] Re: PCD-60b - did anyone get one and use with Emax 1 / 2?

2013-03-19 by Scott Stanley

This kind of makes sense as I always keep a Plus OS floppy in the Emax
floppy drive. Once booted, I can load whatever I want from the SD/CF card.

Btw, I managed to find some relatively inexpensive multi format PCMCIA card
adapters.  Unfortunately the dazzle and the mcr-5a are a bit difficult to
come by and of you can find them they are fairly costly now.  The good news
is, it seems as though any type II adapter should work.  I am not in front
of the ones I bought now but, when I get a chance I will take a photo of
the PCMCIA adapters that do work.

I finaly could finish the upgrade of my emax to a SE/HD.
The PCD60b was recognized by the machine, but only with the PLUS OS.
It is a bit weird because my jumper were set to ID0 on the card reader.
i formated a few compact flash and copied the os to those, also copied the
SE presets, it boots up from the CF and loads all progs perfectly.

i found the reason why i could not upgrade to SE, the slim floppy i got
seem to have a not so sensible write protect detection system, i had to put
2 layer of tape to get it to see it as a writable floppy.

i will check for the jumper on the reader but i'm almost certain it is set
to be on ID0.
