Here is more information that was requested by folk trying to help me.
(1) Dmode Output
nam=d1
mgr=RBF
ddr=rb1773
hpn=07
hpa=FF40
drv=01
stp=03
typ=21
dns=01
cyl=50
sid=02
vfy=01
sct=0012
t0s=0012
ilv=03
sas=08
wpc=
ofs=
rwc=
(2) Terminating resistors
Drive /d0 (the 5.25 drive) is at the physical end of the interface
cable. There is a terminating resistor on this drive
Drive /d1 (the 3.25 drive) is not at the physical end of the interface
cable. There is a terminating resistor on this drive also
It is not possible to make /d0 the 3.25, since I need to boot NitrOS9
from floppy, but I could explore booting from DriveWire assuming
DriveWire allows using it's floppy drive as drive 1
(3) RS-DOS
When using RS-DOS and executing a DIR 0, only the drive 0 (5.25) light
turns on, When using RS-DOS and executing a DIR 1, only the drive 1
(3.25) light turns on.
Based upon what the responses so far have been, the hardware and drivers
are correct. I know the drives are physically fine, so that only leaves
the media. I probably need to use 720kb media in the drive, and not
"cover the sensor hole" on HD media to make the drive think it is a
720kb disk.
Comments????
Thanks.
Ed
