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?
