binary

[jrweikle]

is there a precompiled binary available?

or directions on making the binary for someone who has never done so before?

ok finally figured out how to make the binaries. The software says it doesn't see the drive index. what are the jumper settings suppose to be on?

Hi, the jumpers are for switching between 5-inch and 8-inch drives

J2 switches between using index sensor on pins 4 (8 inch drive) and 8 (5 inch drive) of the shugart cable
J3 switches between drive 0 and drive 1 select
J4 switches between side (head) select on pins 32 (5 inch drive) and 2 (8 inch drive)

hope that's helpful.

I use it in the 5 inch position, then only normally move the drive select jumper depending on what drive I connect. 3.25 inch PC drives tend to favour drive 1, older ones are more likely to default to drive 0, but it depends if your shugart cable has a twist and if it does which side of the twist you connect your drive.

This is why I created the drivetest program, to hopefully allow you to verify your wiring and signals
