OK I have success ! I found that if I format the disks to 350k first, then I can then format them to 720k

I have no idea why but it works

Now I just need to find a long ribbon cable with no blank pins so I can hook up 2 drives together !

Thanks for all the help

John

Hmmm, I tried that and am getting a CC error

All my 3.5" floppy disks are the HD type and I have covered the hole to make them DD

Could that be the problem ?

Thanks again Pere !

OK I apologise for my ignorance. When I format the disks in the 3.5" drive I am getting 175104 bytes free. Can I format them to 720k and how do I go about doing that ? Thanks for your continued help

P.S. I am using Dos 4.1

John

Thank you very much Pere !

That helped me to get it working ! I set the pots and capacitor to match that of your first picture and have now got it working

Much appreciated

John

I am getting CC and RF errors when trying to formate the disk and cannot find a sweet spot while adjusting ...

Thanks for the reply Pere.

That all sounds pretty easy. If I am just connecting one 3.5" drive (for now) can I just use my normal "unmodified" ribbon cable ?

I will definitely give this a try

Thanks for the replys guys. My friend is burning me 2 eeproms, one with 1.1c and another with Dosplus 5.0. So I should have a good choice and can switch them out if needed

Hi, congrats on getting your floppy emulator, I hope to purchase one in the near future. Caould you provide more info on getting a 3.5" drive working on the dragon ? I have a original doscart and a lafumat controller. Is there something specific I need to do to get a 3.5" floppy drive to work with t...

Rather than start a new thread, I thought I would post here as it is related. What is the definitive version of DragonDOS ? I recently got an original Dragon disk controller cart with DOS version 1 on it and want to put a new eeprom in it with the "best" version of DOS on there. What is everyones op...
