Totally confused once again with what can handle what: latest pictures of .... seem to show .DSK files directly read and written?

The name ends with _dsk It's not .dsk.
Or the full name here is: B7en-1_3_dsk.HFE and the extension .HFE is hidden by FlashFloppy firmware.
For those interested ... Thanks for the info, @Symoon! Well, I spend looot of time on this but IMO it's worth! :) Attached you can find every single bit of info related to Byte Drive 500 which can be found in the internet archive and with little hacking the images are in the highest resolution ! In...
... and this in "TILT" magazine misspelled as "Bute Drive 500" : bUte-drive.png Automatic translate: DRIVE: The long awaited floppy drive for Oric 1 and Atmos is finally available in France from JGS. This is I.T.L.'s Bute Drive 500 Kathmill which gives 440 K-bytes after formattin...
So I would assume that the 34-way cable is a standard Shugart floppy interface. +1! The list of things... It was not meant to be offensive in anyway! With full respect I'm sorry for the unsuccessful joke. Actually I was very excited to share the "discovery" about $31A. ;) Is there a side ...
... but we move slowly further: :) side-by-side.png Clksignal and Oricutron side by side running BD-DOS! Do you notice the difference :shock: Yes, Oricutron supports more drives! :twisted: The secret is: write to address $31A - drive select as follow: switch( addr ) { case 0x31a: switch( data &...
Here is how the "Hybrid" cable looks: bd500.png Found in "Computer Answers" 1984/05 pages 19&20. Recently I found somewhere better picture but unfortunately I forgot to save it and now I can't track it again. But anyway I doubt that there is a hope to have the schematics :(. ...
This "oric-international" repository at github is created by DF-user norik but I think it's already abandoned. norik was very active and big Oric fan in the past (last post here 2014.04.20) ...
Here one more tip for SDL/Linux users - starting clksignal with: $ MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.5 LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 ./clksignal <path_to_media_file> should help on older machines which drivers doesn't support latest versions of OpenGL. You can try how it runs with only first, only second or both...
Was that tested with only one Oric and one Microdisc or Jasmin unit? I'm using 4 Orics in the test and only 1 Jasmin drive. There is no difference when changing the Oric and I consider this as stable basis to search the issues in the Jasmin only. Else the quartz looks old but nice: quartz-8Mhz.jpg ...
Thanks for your effort! One more thing but only related to myself: RTFM - there is difference between this two calls: ./clksignal --quickload --output=composite test.dsk and ./clksignal test.dsk --quickload --output=composite Only the second works! EDIT again : More tests and it works fine in RGB wi...
Hm, this will be not easy to fix - sorry to bother you! Here is a list with commits in back order with status of the SDL issue: https://github.com/TomHarte/CLK/commit/e7fff6e1236f48d805bde8db13ea6c922f13a600 - not working https://github.com/TomHarte/CLK/commit/4de121142bdf6363476a1ad92673ff9456733d1...
Have you tested the clock signal on the Jasmin? The clock is 8MHz with acceptable tolerance, not very good looking but here the oscilloscope is to be blamed: 8mhz.png More important there is definitely a drift between 8MHz clock and the 1MHz F2 signal i.e. the phase difference is not constant. One ...
Cool! Tested with macOS and works, but any chance to have SDL fixed too? ;) Now RGB mode freezes with black window and both composite modes issue "Segmentation fault". EDIT: Maybe the log below will help, but it's strange why clksignal stopped to work - I don't see changes related SDL. [WD...
