Floppy disk format?
ZXNet echo conference «hardware.zx»
Hello, scl^mc
scl> maybe this is a 3' floppy disk?
No, it's 3.5, but it's a non-standard version from Amstard...
I already read this on the site, and that was his problem.
But this is not a problem, the main thing is that size 3.5, I think I’ll put a regular one in there!
As a last resort, I’ll generally switch to the Pentagon, it definitely works with 3.5, the main thing is the building
buy with keyboard...
Although, of course, it will be good if there is no need to make modifications, and it’s enough
It will be easy to replace the drive, in my opinion there should also be TR-DOS...
and not another disk system
Hello, All
:v2_laugh; Guys; I decided to get a little weird!
So I decided to buy the coolest of branded specs! Use a cassette
reluctant, since initially it sat on a disk, and in general it’s inconvenient, plus
you need a more or less normal keyboard, but it needs to be Spectrum and not
A Cossack with wheels from a Mercedes, in general I settled on this variant...
I will now look for it on the Internet to buy!
However, I am tormented by doubts, the floppy disk that is licking next to me is not familiar to me what it is
for the format? Doesn't look like 3.5 or 5.25, in size, if it can be estimated
from the picture, we can assume that it is 3.5, but the window for the magnetic head is the same as in
5.25...
What format? Will it be possible to put some kind of regular disk drive in there?
It's just natural that problems will arise with transferring programs to disk...
How can that be?
P.S. I can't post a picture

Hello Lennon
maybe it's a 3' floppy disk? and the drive is like this? True, I’m talking about such floppy disks/drives
I only read it in one book about 9 years ago, but I’ve never seen it in person...
Hello Lennon
len> the usual 3.5, I'll change the drive to the one in the pussies... tr-dos it
len> supports, only 720 kb is true, but it's not a problem, just one
len> the side will fuck
Yes, at least not knowing such basic things - 720kb is different from 1.44
not one-sidedness, but recording density
Hello Lennon
forgive me, but with your knowledge it’s better not even to turn to a soldering iron
watch.
Hello, The Exploited
The> soldering iron is even better
why do you think that I have no knowledge?
I'm kind of a graduate of MSTU N.E. Bauman
and five minutes to a candidate of technical sciences
3rd year of postgraduate study in the specialty of elements and devices of computing
technology and control systems...
I have enough knowledge to figure it out, of course, if anyone has
ask where to read some subtleties. And so in general understanding
programming in machine code and circuit design I don’t experience any particular problems and
Can you imagine, I can even hold a soldering iron...:).
Hello, The Exploited
The> but at least not knowing such basic things - 720kb
The> differs from 1.44 not in one-sidedness, but in recording density
who knows...
Only tr-dos worked with a regular 1.44 drive only if I
in the BIOS it was defined as 720 and for some reason in the listing of the floppy disk it was written that it
one-sided, maybe I forgot, but that’s not the point, the main thing is that tr-dos
I understood this drive, this is the main thing for me. As far as I remember from the description, he
can work with 3.5 drives, I need to check this right now, I’ll look somewhere, including
including and see what kind of disk system is in this spec +3....
p.s. this and 360 differ from 1.2 in density and now you can’t hold a soldering iron in your hands
take it???
630... otherwise they will start clinging again: v2_finge:
Hello, scl^mc
scl> hmm, where will you get floppy disks
what are they?
I'll change the regular 3.5 drive to the one in the pussies... tr-dos it
supports, only 720 kb is true, but this is not a problem, just one side will be
give a fuck
I already worked with this disk drive on an emulator
Hello, scl^mc
scl> there was some other data volume, different from 1.44mb/720kb...
scl> better buy atm!!!
No, it’s not interesting, no creativity!
I’d rather upgrade this one to 3.5 standard with tr-dos, with the help of course
public! But if it works, it will be cool!
You just have to buy it first...:(
Hello Lennon
ah... as far as I remember, amstrad's 3'5 is unlike anything else, with
doesn’t communicate with modern people. there is some other amount of data, different from
1.44mb/720kb was...
buy better atm!!! :D
Hello Lennon
hmm, where will you get floppy disks like that? :v2_finge:
Hello Lennon
So that's it. In +3 there is a 3-inch drive (if I’m not lying, with a capacity of 180K), and not
3.5. Converting to standard 3.5 is not a problem, the links are already here on the forum
gave + Google will help in the extreme. Everything you wrote here about TR-DOS is wrong
(to put it mildly). In general, support domestic producers, especially this one
the manufacturer is right next to you. Think the manufacturer will not refuse to help with
body or at least give direction where to look.
Hello icebear
ice> TR-DOS is wrong (to put it mildly).
what exactly is wrong?
that a single-sided disk with increased density will have the same volume as
double-sided with regular density? At least since 5.25 this has been the case
written in the description with specific numbers and tracks.
I think 3.5 is no different, everything is the same there, and the area where they are read
I think the file headers for listing are also limited, although I don’t remember exactly
how much exactly, but I remember that I read that because of this 1.44 in full
can't be used
Although this is not important, the main thing is that you can put a regular disk drive there!
But I don’t need a domestic one, because I need a compact one and preferably
branded, so that it seems like a rarity, but I have a regular one and an emulator.
Hello, scl^mc
scl> first time hearing
Eltia version of Doystick Club!
at the top when specifying the access file name it says only tr-dos 5.03
and many other games report this, that is, the programmers who wrote
only guaranteed to work under this firmware...
Although 5.04 tm worked great with all games, even where it said only 5.03
Maybe the programmers just called tr-dos that, I don’t know :)
Hello Lennon
heh... they only wrote about the fact that at 5.03 the trains will go, not about the rest
They could say for sure because they didn’t test it. however, not a single game has yet been encountered,
which would not work under the same 5.04f.
Hello Lennon
len> many games swear and write that they are only 5.03...
first time I hear :v2_jawdr:
Hello icebear
ice> By the way, on ebay they sometimes sell just offal and quite cheaply (I
ice> just literally a couple of days ago I saw the ZX Spectrum+ for 0.99
ice> pounds).
Yes, I want a branded one with a ULA mikruha or whatever this matrix is called.
plus I want to switch to tr-dos because I’m used to it!
And I’ll turn to the guys anyway and I’ll redo it! I hope they help.
I don’t really need to read much about disks, I don’t care much about that right now, but
The guys will tell me the subtleties when I convert them to tr-dos and dskovod
hem
In general, of course, I would like to use the drive to the maximum, so there’s less
floppy disks, but it seems to me that it will not be possible to use the disk completely, although
maybe if the firmware changes there was some 5.04 tm... maybe it
will allow you to use it completely or some other way, but there will still be a problem with
compatibility... many games swear and write that they are only 5.03...
Hello Lennon

may the “guys” help you! :) :) :)
Hello Lennon
len> what is actually wrong?
We won't start again, okay? Otherwise there will be snot/tears, and as a result
CHRV and I will agree to drink our own beer again :) There’s a lot of information about TR-DOS
on Virtual TR-DOS, regarding disk drives (device, operating principle, etc.)
books by M. Hooke. Maybe there is something better, but in Russian literature I
I'm irrevocably behind, so ask others. And then, the branded Spectrum (and
you probably want +3) won’t help you, because it’s not TR-DOS but +3DOS, which
not compatible with anything. If you need TR-DOS, then contact CHRV -
IT WILL BE CHEAPER + service.
By the way, on ebay they sometimes sell just offal and quite cheaply (I just
I just saw a ZX Spectrum+ potrose for £0.99 a couple of days ago).
Hello, psb
psb> may the “guys” help you!
Why won’t they help?
They have a website about ATM, I’ll order a disk drive controller there
Well, of course I’ll ask in detail how to connect it to the right one...
that's all it is
Well, I’ll probably have to change the ROM because the spec has +3
it looks like the Beisk has been converted, although it will be visible there...
Hello icebear
ice> There is a connector there, no soldering iron is needed.
Well, the connector is outside?
But you can solder to him inside, right?
Or is there also a controller for that Amstard drive through a connector?
connects? then just disconnect it from there and dock your
controller and that's it. You just need to know the wiring of the connector and controller, and then
I can connect, do I understand correctly?
And in general, why are they afraid to go there with a soldering iron? if a regular spec did it then there
what is it clear? it’s simpler, it’s all packed into one little thing, a graphic matrix, and
the rest of the things can be found in the reference book, how they work, or what everything is there
so difficult that it simply cannot be compared with a regular clone???
Somehow you guys, in my opinion, are hanging around in vain, it was high time to rummage around there too
and the trick can be used on clones if it is better than homemade ones from several
mikruh...
Well, okay, if something is wrong, don’t kick, but tell me what and how...
And I won’t mind my spec for tests, at the same time we’ll train if anyone
Of course he will!
Hello Lennon
And yet, no one knows whether a regular 3.5 drive will fit there?
or is it more than the Amsterdam one? according to the idea, since Amstard 3 means he
less? and the window for it will be too small for 3.5...
If so, then it might be easier then really take 128 +....
yes, cut off the controller,
and how will you still have to change the ROM? it probably won’t be on the tr-dos sign
or am I wrong again?
on the Pentagon at least the standard ROM and the shadow one from the beat disk were in
one little thing and untied it at the address...
what about in this case? Perhaps the beata disk will simply take the address of the ROM that is there
also like shadow and everything will be okay? I don’t know, I need to ask...! :v2_conf2:
Hello icebear
ice> Why? In general, there is no need to go inside.
Well, if you don’t go inside, then why take +3?
Then it’s enough just 128+ and connect the disk to it via the same connector...
Or am I wrong?
The thing is that I want to upgrade, I don’t have extra boxes and boards on the table
needed...I need a finished product! If they sold me a spec +3 with tr-dos and
A disk drive that is compatible with pisi would be enough for me!
There's just no such thing...
And another offtopic.
I've got two specs+3 on the hook here! on ebay in kindom and the states...
They told me the intermediary’s website, I registered there too!
The question is this!
How to use an intermediary? I need to negotiate first and it will work out for me
seller?
What kind of payment should I negotiate with him via PayPal?
Or what?
And will the seller tell you the cost of shipping? what to do with her?
Hello Lennon
len> Yes, I want a branded one with a ULA mikrukha or whatever this matrix is called.

The “guys” have never seen their native Spectrum in their lives, and have no idea what it’s like
support, especially to climb there with a soldering iron: v2_scare;
At all; you need a combination of “native ZX” + “Beta Interface” to be at least somehow
similar to domestic clones.
+D interface is not used in native clones and accordingly is not supported
in domestic software.
In general, Mishka (and the beer is German anyway) said it correctly, or
domestic clone or simulator...
Hello Lennon
len> Is the connector on the outside?
Outside.
len> And you can solder to it inside, right?
Why? In general, there is no need to go inside.

To the peripheral connector? Hardly.

That's right, but you don't need to undock anything. There's no need to go inside anyway.

In general, I don’t care much about the PC, and especially about the support of real disks by emulators.

len> I don’t remember exactly how many files, although it might fit.
In one sentence you contradict yourself. What conclusions follow from this?
In general, there are a maximum of 128 files on a trdos floppy disk, but monoloaders were not invented
less than 15 years ago and all normal programs take up 1-2 files in the directory.
further. in my case, on one physical 1.44" disk there were 2 (two) logical
trdos disk, completely independent from each other, which means 256 files.
p.s. It seems like they are trying to politely explain to you the inappropriateness of
what did you come up with (here the question is - who are these “guys” that will throw themselves at youhelp with advice?). and you start to get offended and come up with some “fools”.

Hello Lennon
I won’t even comment on the delusional stream of consciousness about the densities of floppy disks.
(by the way, where did you find the BIOS on the Spectrum, and even with the choice of drive type)
All my life I have had a 1.44 spec drive, floppy disks with a sealed
hole (the flop identifies them as DD and works great). But I did
modification, which actually used 2x640kb = only 1.2mb, but this
because a lot of bytes are spent on service information, but in reality there is
format, and in Izdosa there is support for 1.8 MB disks (this is how regular ones are formatted
1.44 floppy disks)

In principle, there is no need to solder it, there is a system connector through which you can

At the same time, he added that he tried to work on it only through an emulator and with

No, I want to improve it at least +3
to support tr-dos and a regular drive without spoiling its appearance...
for what?
Yes, so that you can use the real spec that you once had
me was.
I had it with tr-do and without all the bells and whistles like support for hard drives, etc.
and the dos that is in +3 does not suit me, because for it I havethere is nothing, naturally I won’t adapt anything
I'll take the games from CHRV and that's it...
I hope I will be able to burn a floppy disk on a regular diskette and then use it on

scl> or take a ready-made one as part of the board. or a used computer
that's the point...
and then the computer is thrown into the trash, barbarism.
I would like to give out the scheme +3 and
beta disk diagram
and everything will work out!
there is no need to redo anything, it works like regular 128k
just cut beta and everything is fine
You can change the ROM so that the window has a trdos like the Pentagon...
You may have to do a little modification to switch banks
ROM... but it's not difficult I think
the main thing is that you need the Pentagon and +3
Hello, scl^mc
scl> and the fact that it will cost you less to buy an atm card than for more than 100
scl> euro from behind the hill take 128 +3 with the “left” dos and then in it
scl> soldering irons. especially since if you can’t stand climbing
scl> with a soldering iron on the board, this can also be done in atm. and not particularly afraid that
scl> some old part will fall off/burn. because it's new.
I don't need cheaper...
if there was at least a case with a keyboard, perhaps I would agree to install
there's the Pentagon...
however, neither the building itself nor the pentagon itself is so easy to find
look over there...
even if BDI has to be soldered himself
Hello Lennon
LARUS, in my opinion, is still on RT cars.
the most autonomous board is such a huge one for two 2764 ROMs and a VGshk, so
my first. I think it should fit well on the system connector.
the smallest without RTshek is Nemo, but the ROM needs to be scratched (put 27512 and the clown to
her) and the logic for turning on DOS (OUTIORQ and all that).
Hello Ronin
Ron> LARUS, in my opinion, is still on RTshki.
The board itself was quite large. Then I still had Synthesis-M, so somewhere
3/4 of the area of his board was the size of the Larus board. Do you know who produced them? And
Is there anything on the net about this controller? Question and search exclusively
nostalgic.
Hello Lennon

The> will be just cool!
I have Win98SE on my IBM PC-compatible computer and they are set in the BIOS
real drive values: 3.5" 1.44Mb and 5.25" 1.2Mb and all emulators and
service programs work great (in fact, they don’t work on other Windows
will work with real floppy disks).
Creating Spectrum TR-DOS disks on IBM should not cause problems:
You can at least use Spectrum Navigator.

In WinXP (2k, 2k3, ...) the emulator will work with real floppy disks
RealSpectrum32 and a set of WinTRD utilities for reading/writing/formatting TR DOS
floppy disks, but after installing the included driver.
Hello, Alexandr Medvedev

I am following these developments, but so far I have not been able to establish normal operation.
It didn’t work out for me or my friends. That's why we "drive" the W98.
Hello Grand
Gra> I am following these developments, but for now let’s get things working properly
Gra> neither I nor my friends succeeded. That’s why we “drive” the W98.
And everything works fine for me under WinXP SP1
Hello, SAM style
SAM> And everything works fine for me under WinXP SP1
Lucky... However, I am completely satisfied with the W98. :)
To the moderators: It might be better to move this topic to the "Miscellaneous" subsection or
"Flame"?
Hello Grand
Gra> I am following these developments, but for now let’s get things working properly
Gra> neither I nor my friends succeeded.
So what exactly is the problem?
Hello, Alexandr Medvedev
Ale> So what is the actual problem?
I guess I'll really have to ask for help, but, of course,
not in this topic. :)
Hello Grand
Gra> To the moderators: It might be better to move this topic to a subsection
Gra> "Miscellaneous" or "Flame"?
you can delete your messages, then there will be no flames here.
The question was if you forgot about the +3 floppy disk format.
And then the topic went a little aside, they began to discuss the feasibility of the transition
to a standard drive and in general the feasibility of converting +3 to tr-dos. But
at the same time, no one left the framework of the discussion of zx hardware.
P.S. but in principle, at the discretion of the moderator, I received the necessary information,
if the moderator considers this topic useless for others, then let him move it or
deleted.
