Accurate timing using SIO2PC and RespeQT?

[scotty]

I set the baud rate to 19,200 (1x) but it still beeps and loads a lot faster that a real 1050. While I do like the extra speed, I would like to get accurate timing like Altira uses, for the authenticity. Also, What method of handshaking should I be using?

The handshaking method is configurable as there's various different types of physical interfaces that can be used, from memory the RS232 based ones can be either RI or DSR and some are switchable. These days I don't know that any one would have advantage over the other.

 

19.2kbps without seek and rotational latency is fairly quick compared to a real disk drive, I don't know that there'd be much demand for realistic delay between sectors. To make it authentic you'd probably want consider seek time as well as the number of sectors per track.

19,200 is really slow using any modern device. I usually use no handshaking with RespeQt on my device and can go up to POKEY divisor 0 (125kbps). Even 3x (57,600 bps) with hardware handshaking is doing, and a lot better than 1x.

 

Anyway, this discussion should probably be in the RespeQt subforum.
