dafivehole Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Well, I just got my supposed MINT complete Indus GT over the weekend and the only disk that it came with is the DOS XL disk... can anyone tell me exactly which ones came with the drive originally? And, of course, where I can get the other ones?!? Thanks, Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roydea6 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Indus software.... http://retrobits.net/atari/indus.shtml Here is a good site.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafivehole Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 Thanks for the link. Instead of making a new post, I will ask this question in this one... Does anyone have a set of original Indus GT software and manuals that they could part with (sell)? Thanks again, Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNXGUY Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 My Atari collection is at my nieces house (5 minute drive from my apt. and I don't drive) but I am sure I got what you want and the next time I am there I will look and if I got the manuals I will send them to you. The drive comes with a Spread sheet, DOS XL, and 1 other program I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tregare Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Speaking of Indus software. does ANY of the disk imaging software that works with a SIO2PC correctly image the first track on atari format disks? the indus CP/M disk that is downloadable has a corrupt first track because (and this is the explination I was given) the 1050 only reads 128 bytes on the first several sectors of track 0 on a double density disk. I would like to fix the indus CP/M images and make an image that can be re-written to a disk without having to jump through a bunch of hoops.

dafivehole Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 doctor_x They say that timing is everything I think I paid too much more my Indus but if I can complete it with software and manuals, I guess I can live with that.

LYNXGUY Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 WOW, that's awesome! Please keep me updated...

trub Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I would like to fix the indus CP/M images and make an image that can be re-written to a disk without having to jump through a bunch of hoops. Not possible with regular SIO commands. Just run CPMTool to fix the CP/M disks (it uses drive downloadable code to write full 256-byte boot sectors).

dafivehole Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 OK, thanks to LYNXGUY, I got almost all of the software and manuals. I am still missing the following (can anyone help me out here?): - Indus GT Data Spreadsheet Disk (aka GT Albert E.Spread Sheet disk). - Indus Master Disk with Synchromesh (this might go with a certain version of the drive, so I'm not 100% sure that I need it but I would still like to have it). Looking for original software and manuals, please. Thanks, Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tregare Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 i wouldn't mind a set either if anyone has a set they'd let go of at a reasonable price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender II Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) ME2 too. I think the Synchromesh is for the memory upgraded drive. If anyone has the upgrade for sale please let me know. Edited May 11, 2010 by Defender II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillC Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Speaking of Indus software. does ANY of the disk imaging software that works with a SIO2PC correctly image the first track on atari format disks? the indus CP/M disk that is downloadable has a corrupt first track because (and this is the explination I was given) the 1050 only reads 128 bytes on the first several sectors of track 0 on a double density disk. I would like to fix the indus CP/M images and make an image that can be re-written to a disk without having to jump through a bunch of hoops. You could try Omniflop for windows. It is supposed to work with a list of 200+ pre-defined 'known' formats. It also includes the ability to physically analyse a pre-formatted floppy disk. This results in an 'unknown' format which can still be read or written, and if that format matchs one of the pre-defined 'known' formats then OmniFlop switches to using the parameters of that format. Since the documentation only mentions reading and writing of 'unknown' disk formats, I believe formatting is limited only to the 'known' formats. It includes replacement floppy disk drive Windows driver files which are supposed to allow support for SD FM mode, including Atari8 90KB, on some hardware. I haven't tried it yet but plan to soon.
