Minimal hw configuration features?

Open AndersBNielsen opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

The readme describes the board would work with just a single FDC + address decoding. Looks like an amazingly cheap alternative to buying a vintage FDC card.

Does that mean it would work with any drive the stock BIOS normally supports? (Without the bios extension)

Specifically I’m curious if I can get a 1.44Mb HD drive with an IBM XT 5160 (with 82 or ‘86 BIOS) - maybe just as a DD 720K drive? (Not sure what I can expect from the XT)

Basically, what can I expect from the minimal configuration with one FDC?
