It was my 1ST computer.

Actually, 8" disks were introduced for the Model I but they were compatible with all models.

I see they make "DMK" images. I am getting a MISE board for it that I can FTP files from it and store them on a SD card. But it has no way of copying a "DMK" image. So I though if I put the same drive as I have on the SuperCard Pro maybe it can copy the disk to a "DMK" image. I don't know all it has but I guess just a DD type copy maybe with track and other info in the file some place.

Still no one has made a copy for TRS-80 disk?

You can make copies and images easily. You can convert to/from .scp and .dmk images using the HxC Floppy Drive Emilator software.

I got a board for the TRS-80 that can do video out VGA I think.

It has Ethernet on it too and a SD card can copy the disk to.

But I had put them to a right device and I for got it was at what end of the ribbon cable they are on. So I started to switch the DIP switches in them. Now only can get one drive working the 1st drive I had with it I think 40 tracks.

Can not find no info how to set the DIP switches there is 8 of them so 256 settings. I got to turn the TRS-80 on and back on after each setting to see if can get to the drive. I gave up. It be neat to copy all my old disk to the SD card. I am sure all will fit on one SD card.

Are all them old drives about the same for how the DIP switches for be set?

Every manufacturer had their own unique set of jumpers or DIP switches. You will need to locate the user or service manual for your model of disk drive.
