Magic FM

[yves31]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to transfer .dsk file from whtech website to floppy on my TI-99

 

I have a program on floppy which is called magicfm but it give me an error. It try to find a file called sload which is not on the floppy

It's probably the reason why it does not work. Is it?

 

I have a null modem serial cable, PEB, floppy drive (of course) and the rs-232 card.

 

Do you think if I order the disk magicfm from arcadeshopper it's going to work with my equipment?

 

I want to stop spending and get the right equipment to do it!

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thank you,

 

Yves

Which floppy drive controller?

[yves31]

The module in my peb are PHP 1240, I also have the PHP 1260 for the memory and the RS232 is a PHP 1220 and the drive is a PHP 1250.

Stock TI controller can only do dssd (180k). If you replace the ROMs you can get dssd 80 tracks (360k)but only with a 80 track drive such as a 720k 3.5"

Magic fm copies only single files not to/from dsk images so you need to unpack that dsk to tifiles files using tidir or equivalent first then send files to the TI with mfm

SLOAD isn't a normal part of the MFM package.  My MFM disk has a readme, an EA5 program file, and an Extended BASIC LOADer.

Thanks for all your reply.

 

My magicfm is probably not good. The previous owner just probably copy the main program on a disk

 

I order one from arcadeshopper

 

I'll let you know how it went or annoy you with more question! ?
