You did get it.
It looks like the GW is working and seen by your PC, so now you need to get the FDD hooked up with an external PSU and drop in a disk (Any disk with a few files on will do) and test.
Then you can try to configure the GW floppy power and if it doesn't work there is probably not enough power over USB for both the GW and FDD.

Got it!
it was the "-win\" that was stuffing it.
The -win was taken from your screenshot, so I don't know where that came from, unless the screengrab was of the zip file.

I have a SATA to FDD cable now to power the Disk Drive from my PC's PSU.

Good stuff. BTW I can't tell you how to drive GW myself other than what I've explained, you'll need to get more extensive help on that from the web.

Anyway, thanks to you I can now connect it up knowing that it's working and try a disk. I didn't even know I could connect my drive to the PSU like that, so that's a good thing to come out of this for me.
Thank you! 8-)

Not a problem and good luck with the GW.

(Not a windows user, so when you see '$ ./gw'' you should just type gw.exe or so)
Code: Select all
$ ./gw info
Host Tools: v0.25
Greaseweazle:
Device: /dev/ttyACM1
Model: F1
Firmware: v0.25
Serial: GW0100739353471310004E4C38
USB Rate: Full Speed (12 Mbit/s)
If you type info it should show you that you have an F7, version etc.
Code: Select all
$ ./gw read test.scp
Reading c=0-81:h=0-1 revs=3
T0.0: Raw Flux (149688 flux in 703.61ms)
T0.1: Raw Flux (158441 flux in 699.84ms)
T1.0: Raw Flux (149625 flux in 690.63ms)
T1.1: Raw Flux (147008 flux in 698.74ms)
T2.0: Raw Flux (154267 flux in 698.54ms)
T2.1: Raw Flux (151079 flux in 700.84ms)
...
... and this is how you read a disk image. I rip to .SCP format, and then use Aufit or HxC Floppy software to convert to .STX for use with emulators.
I've never used the Windows GUI app.

Good stuff.
Once my stuff is out of storage and in my new house I'll get a bit more time on mine.
