Yeah, me too...

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.
I'm sure you'll figure it out :)

Thanks !

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.

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.

Yeah, I was thinking of getting one.

Just have to check the local auction site.

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

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.

On the other hand, I plan to fit a HXC as a second drive in my A5000.

But you've got IDE on A5000 which you can connect to one of these for fast file transfer between Windows/Linux/MacOS<->RiscOS:

@alexh

Sure.

I have the first one in my Atari STE, but used as internal.

I could make an opening in the FDD plastic cover of my A5000 and fit the CF IDE adapter, but I don't really like to alter the outside of my retro machines, and I try to keep them genuine as much as possible.

The inside is on the other hand another story, and all kind of expansions and mods are allowed.
