Activating the IEEE hardware in VICE 3.1 does work though - sort of.
I've booted up the "Super-
VIC" and then activated TDE with a SFD-1001. The drive seems to respond to commands, and I can read out the error channel, but for the moment I'm stuck getting a mounted *.d82 disk image to work ...
Edit: here's another attempt with the IEEE ROM expanded to 4K and all four ROMs attached as cartridges; with
VIC-
1112 hardware enabled and a SFD-1001 as drive #8 in the drive settings and then a proper hardware reset:
Attached *.d82 files still don't work though.
Edit 2: attaching a known(?) good(?) *.d82 (the SFD-1001 Test/Demo Disk as found on zimmers) and trying to load the directory with LOAD"$",8 only results in a broken listing of
0 " (the quotes are shown in reverse) - a quick peek in memory reveals only the header line with lots of zeroed bytes for the disk name/ID/DOS ID, and a defunct BLOCKS FREE line are in memory. Of course the BASIC re-linker chokes upon all those 0's and truncates the directory.
Edit 3: just attaching the
VIC-
1112 in VICE 3.1 with a SFD-1001 also doesn't work.
Edit 4: What *does* work is attaching a 8250 instead! YAAAY!
Here are the same ROMs re-packaged,VICMON with PA combined in BLK3 and Super Expander with IEEE combined in BLK5.
In VICE, proceed as follows:
- Settings > Virtual device traps => tick OFF,
- Settings > Drive setting > True drive emulation => tick ON,
- Settings >
VIC-20 settings ... => Memory 16K (blocks 1/2),
- Settings > Cartridge/IO settings ... >
VIC-
1112 IEEE-488 module => tick ON,
- Settings > Drive settings > Drive settings, Drive type: 8250
- File > Attach cartridge image ... > Generic image ... => select 'blk3-vicmon-pa' > Open
- File > Attach cartridge image ... > Add to generic cartridge > Smart-attach image ... => select 'blk5-se-ieee-488' > Open
... and there you go.
The *.zip file (
download) also contains an empty *.d82 disk image for you to try out.
