DO NOT USE DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time it is unfortunately not possible to white list users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

reading the wd1772 datasheet it says that 20 is used to enable the spindle. This is staying high when it gets to desktop.

Do you know what /CS should be doing? it pulses low once on 80ns scale
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

I don't know what timings anything has really.. you would have to check on a working ST and compare them all.

The ST does poll the drive like twice a second or something.. so likely CS goes low during those times.

Maybe my memory is foggy, but I always thought the drive would be damaged by plugging the cable in upside down. Something about voltages on the wrong pins that way. :?:

Back to the plot...
Wow I go off grid for a day and see what happens. Great discussion on floppy controllers and drives though.

I’ll take a look at scoping out the signals later tonight.

I have stuck drive cables in the wrong way many a time on an ST. I haven’t had one damaged but I could just be lucky.

Same for me and usually the drive light staying on is a key to it being the wrong way round (on a pc at least!)

In order on the scope as per your pins above:

(U54) A1 pin 11 - CH1, A2 pin 8 - CH2, (U32) pin 3 SNDCS - CH3, (IC2 MFP) pin 48 CS - CH4
