uBee512 Sanity Checking?

[shane.crozier]

Hi Folks

I've been trying to add an additional hdd to the uBee512 - I have made an assumption that the emulated controller can emulate 3 hdd's based on the help information

My normal start string is (Macos) - which works fine.

ubee512 --model=p128k --rom1=HD18.ROM --hdd1=hdd_128k_sys_2.2t.hd0 --video-type=gl --monitor=a 

however 

I copy the hdd file to another instance of it (Called hdd_test.hd0 )


ubee512 --model=p128k --rom1=HD18.ROM --hdd0=hdd_128k_sys_2.2t.hd0 --hdd2=hdd_test.hd0 --video-type=gl --monitor=a 

Just seems to stall on the "Microbee Hard Disk System" Rom loader.

I'd like to have a virtual disk of around 20Mb in 4x5Mb partitions to store and test the CP/M software library I've amassed.

I would have expected to be able to use --hdd0 but that seems to also fail - what am I missing?

The model you need to run HD on is not a p128k but a hdd.

This works fine for me

ubee512.exe hdd --hdd1=hdd_128k_sys_2.2t.hd0

The hdd_128k_sys_2.2t.hd0 is an image of the original Teac HD ( the t after 2.2) and has 4 x 2.5gb partitions as the original was only a 10gb HD.

This also works with A: to D: the HD and E: a ds40 floppy

ubee512.exe hdd --hdd1=hdd_128k_sys_1.1.hd0 --hdd3=hdd_128k_standard_1.1_ds40.dsk
