| Summary |
 07674: bbcb: Solidisk DFS (8271) returns Diskfault |
||||
| Description |
The Solidisk DFS 2.1 is an alternative Disk Filing System that could be used instead of the more usual Acorn DFS. This particular version is intended for use with the standard Acorn 8271 FDC implementation. The Solidisk DFS seems to be using 8271 commands that are incorrectly implemented, causing a Diskfault. I suspect something related to Read/Write Special Registers and Read Drive Status. |
||||
| Steps To Reproduce |
mame bbcb -fdc acorn8271 -rom1 stldfs21 -flop1 3dbombal The machine should start, reporting DFS 2.1 (8271) is installed. Catalogue the floppy by typing *CAT, and Diskfault at 00/00/00 is returned, expected result is to display the floppy catalogue. |
||||
| Additional Information |
A similar Disk fault can be produced with the Acorn DFS which is likely due to the same 8271 issue. mame bbcb -fdc acorn8271 -flop1 3dbombal Dump a file from floppy to screen with *DUMP LOGO, should see the file LOGO being dumped and scrolled on screen. Enable page mode with CTRL N, then *DUMP LOGO. The screen will now not scroll and needs SHIFT to be pressed to display another page. Pressing SHIFT will cause a Disk fault 18 at 07/00. Both test cases use the 8271 Special Registers and Read Drive Status. |
