Hi All,

I have captured the communications between the Model 100 and the TPDD2
during the creation of a TPDD2 boot disk.

The capture file is at http://trs80stuff.net/tpdd/tpdd2-boot-disk-create.txt

Com5 is Model 100 -> TPDD2

Com6 is TPDD2 -> Model 100

Time stamps are accurate as they are recorded on the same PC.

The capture is the writing to the TPDD2. The reading of the original boot
disk process is not required as the necessary data to write a new disk is in
the capture. If we can convert it to code (a project for when I am a little
less busy), it will need to be assumed that the disk has already been
formatted.

As the sequencing and timing is all in place, the right sort of Python
script could read the capture file directly and generate the appropriate
commands/data and know what to expect back from the TPDD2 and in what time
frames.

Enjoy!

 

Ps. Maybe this could be hosted somewhere on the bitchin100 wiki?
