Lord_Nightmare currently has two of my Drivetec 3.3 drives
<balrog>
they have a very interesting micro-stepping design, with two stepper otors
<Lord_Nightmare>
two? i have THREE
<Lord_Nightmare>
two are the 3.3mb ones, one is a ?6mb? one?
<balrog>
huh am I forgetting? I thought we had two
<Lord_Nightmare>
the later kodak one after kodak bought it from drivetek
<Lord_Nightmare>
the hardware parts except the pcb in the drive look mostly the same on both
<Lord_Nightmare>
the 3.3mb ones use a 68705 MCU
<balrog>
pjustice, Foone: FYI it seems like HxC has posted the kicad design for the Pauline board
<Lord_Nightmare>
the 6mb and 12mb ones i think don't?
<Lord_Nightmare>
they may use a different mcu
<Lord_Nightmare>
maybe a surfacemount or plcc 68hc05?
<Lord_Nightmare>
we have a dump of the 68705 from the 3.3mb ones
<balrog>
I didn't think we had a 6MB one? Can you find it?
<Lord_Nightmare>
the two with red LEDs i think are 3.3mb
<Lord_Nightmare>
the one with the orange LED i don't know
<Lord_Nightmare>
iirc they came in 3 sizes: 3.3mb, 6mb and 12mb
<balrog>
yes
<balrog>
do the model numbers differ?
<balrog>
there's VERY little info out there about these :(
<Foone>
balrog: cool! I need to look into that and order some PCBs
<balrog>
I looked at the HxC software and it STILL doesn't do on the fly decode/verify like Applesauce
<balrog>
Foone: #computer_floppies?
<balrog>
also I see that Jeff_HxC2001 is in the discord
<Foone>
balrog: yeah, and we have a private channel for talking about discferret. I'm not sure who you'd need to talk to to get in there, retroromper maybe?
<balrog>
considering I was one of the people on the DF team? can you poke RetroRomper? otherwise I can PM
<balrog>
when said "team" existed
<Foone>
yah
<balrog>
I poked RetroRomper
<Foone>
oh, ok.
<balrog>
you can too if you wanna
<Foone>
what's your discord name?
<balrog>
Foone: based on my real name, I just set a nickname in that discord
