stopping the disk in beta-disk
ZXNet echo conference «code.zx»
From Kirill Frolov → To All 19 September 2000
Press RESET immediately, All!
Some people here are talking all sorts of nonsense about the subject matter, I decided to clarify
situation.
There are as many as 5 ways to stop the disk from spinning in the drive:
1. Apply a logical zero to the RESET input of the 1818VG93 microcircuit.
2. Write a command to the command register of the 1818VG93 microcircuit.
3. Generate several pulses at the input of the 18181VG93 IP chip.
4. Remove the disk from the drive.
5. Turn off the power.
All methods, except the last two, work on all beta-disk controllers
interface. I won’t write specifically how this is done...
