Mark,
Yes, this was using the "llktlr" driver Boisy sent me. I plan to do
some extensive banging on it. (Boisy, I have an extra Kenton if you
need one to test with, though it does not support SCSI parity so it
won't work on a ZIP or whatever.)
As to the lights flashing, I notice once thing -- during the copy, the
system gets REAL SLOW. And this is a good thing since I think it means
it is blazing data as fast as it's little 2Mhz CPU can handle. Spiffy!
(Made me remember how slow the CoCo is compared to modern systems when
it comes to doing things like looking at a 64K file or whatever -- wow,
how times change!)
I will get you the info on my Sandisk 256MB part. Since I am seeing
256MB CF parts for $19 lately, I may pick up a few more. My 128MB (256
HDB-DOS drives, 45MB for OS-9) isn't large enough on the OS-9 side to
hold my OS-9 data, so I'll probably step up in size.
And Towel was one of the first things I fired up last night when I got
stuff copied over. I immediately came up with a list of things I'd
like to do to it, and rest assured, updating the Ethawin "TUI" and
Towel is something I will probably do first since I need it.
