[cpiac64]

thanks

edit
it is an external floppy driver

[zipper]

http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/synthesis500 uses syndisk.device or something like.

That's a SCSI controller. I think cpiac64 is talking about drivers for a high-density floppy drive.

Can you post a pic?

I have an AEHD High Density Amiga floppy from Applied Engineering.
Probably not the same, but wondered if maybe one is rebranded?

If it is the same as the AEHD one, I have the driver, but be aware it's 1.3 only (Possibly 2.0 based on a review I read, but I wasn't able to get it to work with 2.0 when I tried.).

I used it for a while with my A1000, until I got kickwork going; it wouldn't work with kickwork.

the board have a gal and 2 standard chip, the drive is teac fd-235hf

i found the device on amibay, the user dr_cinicus send me for e-mail, test in progress

If you're able to take a pic of the board and upload the driver you have, I'd be interested to see how the code works.

Well the only I can think of is something called: highdensity.device is about 5424 bytes it tells me the file version is 1.0 12.11.93 Quick comment (Nearly) 2MB per Disk written and (c) 1993 by Klaus Deppisch
Is that what you need?

I've just uploaded in the zone the hd_disk.device file.

[cpiac64]

I've add the device and mountlist in the zone

thanks to dr_cinicus on amibay for have sent me this zip

drive with switch in position 1 led green, work as df1:
drive with switch in position 2 led red, work as df5:
df5: with floppy disk hd formatted 1640kb, work fine.

thanks all

[mark_k]

Thanks for that!

Can you read or write DD disks when the switch is in position 2?

If anyone cares about supporting this drive in emulators, I looked at the hd_disk.device code. It's hard to figure out exactly what's going on, but my guess is it uses GCR-like encoding for the 82-cylinder HD format, and probably the normal Amiga trackdisk format for DD disks.

The drive needs to report a special ID: $66666666 for DD, $78787878 for HD. Maybe $00000000 if no disk is inserted??? Or maybe it always reports $00000000 when the switch is in position 1, to be compatible with DD disks without needing a mount file.

ok, i add photo and more info

systest report ID:99999999

when insert dd floppy, work as df1: , i suppose
