I'm sure you'll figure it out :)HigashiJun wrote: 03 Dec 2023 10:53Yeah, me too...rubber_jonnie wrote: 03 Dec 2023 10:15 I hate it when that happens! Could it be the FDD controller IC? Which one did you use in the end?
I use the WD1772-PH, but I think there is an issue elsewhere.
Have to try something else, but it's for tomorrow if time allows.
Thanks !
I'm looking forward to seeing the A5000 up and running fully. If you can, get a parallel port Zip drive, they are great for transferring software from Windows to RISCOS.HigashiJun wrote: 03 Dec 2023 11:52Thanks !
I hope so...
But I would like to focus on the A5000 tomorrow.
The A3000 is fully working and I'm just pimping it in now.
Yeah, I was thinking of getting one.rubber_jonnie wrote: 03 Dec 2023 12:59 I'm looking forward to seeing the A5000 up and running fully. If you can, get a parallel port Zip drive, they are great for transferring software from Windows to RISCOS.

Just have to check the local auction site.
Found some IOMEGA ones for good prices, but I keep it for later.
I have a GOTEK and a HXC, but I like more the old FDD.alexh wrote: 04 Dec 2023 09:52 If you have one... and your FDD connector is working... a Gotek is an "ok" method of transferring files from PC to A3000 or A3010 (something with no integrated IDE). The HxC software can created custom Acorn .ADF images with the files you want to transfer. I have never tried to use custom disk formats on Acorn but on Amiga & Atari you can make disks which are considerably bigger than the biggest FD disk
