[Coco] CoCoSDC and SuperIDE together was SDC Troubles

[rietveld rietveld]

Just POKE the proper SLOT

SLOT 1     POKE 65407,0
SLOT 2     POKE 65407,17
SLOT 3     POKE 65407,34
SLOT 4     POKE 65407,54

You can mix up the slots .  Just make sure that you boot from the slot with the SuperIDE the poke the slot that has your SDC.  This will trick HDB-DOS regardless of where the SDC is.  remember that HDB-DOS came out years before the SDC was even a thought.  Since the SDC is just a floppy emulator HDB-DOS cant tell the difference between it and the real thing. HDB_DOS will write to the SDC just the same as the physical drive.

Henry,

My setup normally was Deluxe RS232 Pak in slot 1, SDC slot 2, SuperIDE slot
3, and real floppy drive in slot 4. :)
