can you tell us which setting you have the 9100 set to for the Floppy Emulator?
Sony. That's what drives (2 of them) were in my 9105FT when I acquired it and I didn't need to change the config to use the Gotek. It is _possible_ that the Gotek won't be sensitive to the config value but I've not tried changing it.
I have to wonder if the 9100 can utilize two Floppies if one pokes around
If you configure the mainframe as a 9105 (via the service disk) it is then configured to boot the OS from DR1 and load user disks from DR2. It's possible to change the source for userdisks to DR1 via SETUP/POD/USERDISK. So it may be possible to modify the OS9 filesystem somehow to see DR1 and DR2 when in 9100 mode (for copy source) but I've not spent any time doing this because there is no way to get the firmware to boot from DR2 (only DR1 via SOFT+F2+F4). This is why I went with the DPDT switch (since I had 2 floppy bays available) though practically I doubt I will ever use the physical floppy again since everything that seems to be known to exist is now in the github archive and having everything on 1 USB stick is just way more convenient. _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist@flippers.com https://pairlist7.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org/TTL/Test_Equipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/
