From: gonzalez@bbn.com (Jim Gonzalez) Path: bbn.com!gonzalez I am in the process of interfacing a Shugart SA 801 drive to a Cromemco 16FDC controller. The signal assignment on the 16FDC connector is not consistent with that of the SA 801; Cromemco apparently adopted a non- standard pattern. Wayne Hortensiu supplied me with information about jumpers and trace cuts, which I have followed. I have had some success, but have questions about the error messages printed by the ROM monitor when I attempt to access the drive. Attempts to reach Wayne by email have failed. If Wayne (or anyone else familiar with the 16FDC and the RDOS II monitor) would contact me, I would appreciate it. Thanks. -Jim.
