Hi to everyone!
I want to make a firmware update for my QDisc FDD controller, from the 1.08 ver to 1.19 ver. Does anyone know where i can find the bin file?

I have various spare ROMs here - I could do with someone reading them in and storing them really (any volunteers?)

Is it the CST QDisc interface?

Hi

I have an eprom Programmer that will read and update new Controller Firmware. Just need the new code and and postage.

I have a PCML Disk Interface, with 256Kb onboard ram. I guess there is no ROM updates for this.

I also got hold of a PCML Disk Interface. It´s the 0K version with ROM 1.14. The board has sockets for eight RAM chips. After installing suitable chips, no additional RAM gets detected or can be accessed. Do I need a new PAL chip and if so, where to get one (or the file)?

I'd happily read your ROMS and hand-off to Dilwyn to make available from his site. Would just need to sort out shipping back and forth...

I just had a quick look - I don't have any of these left - I seem to recall sending them to Dave and he did copies of what there was - they should all be on Dilwyn's site
