Message-ID: <3263@nsc.UUCP> Date: Thu, 17-Oct-85 13:17:26 EDT Article-I.D.: nsc.3263 Posted: Thu Oct 17 13:17:26 1985 Date-Received: Fri, 18-Oct-85 18:45:52 EDT Distribution: na Organization: The Patriarchy of Kzin, Kzin Lines: 15 Keywords: floppy-disk,1771,1791,nervous-breakdown Xref: nsc net.micro:11471 net.micro.cpm:5001 [REAL PROGRAMMERS light candles and chant over their terminals while compiling.] [REAL TECHNICIANS pressure-check all four tires to find the flat one.] Does anyone out there have any read/write/format algorithm(s) for the 1771 or 1791 floppy-disk controller chips? Someone(I don't remember who) advised me to use a 2795, but since I have a 1791 and have a tight budget I thought I could use what I have until I start working five days a week again. What are the gotchas and how can I work around them? No copyrighted or protected materials, please. Thanx, Kchula-Rrit
