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?
