[Coco] SuperIDE and floppy disk

[Mark Marlette]

Luis,

Sounds like you have something flaky in the system.

Been awhile since I looked at the hardware selection but if the FDC doesn't decode SLENB~ you might have an issue.

What FDC is giving you issues?

I have tried a lot of them. No problems.

Could be a MPI or FDC problem...definitely not the sIDE..... :)

Regards,

Mark

yep poke &hff7f,51 does the job

thxs,

but i'm seeing it turning the drive on on a random criteria, and even
crashing on nitros-9 s that possible there is some problem with the mpi or
the Fdc ? removeing the fdc solves the problem.
