Hi James, Yup, a 9 pin to 25 pin F-F adapter is what you need.
Originally you would use a program called LAPDOS to format, copy files to/from a PC etc., but AFAIK it does not play well with modern versions of Windows or Linux/Mac OS's.: http://www.club100.org/library/doc/lapdos.html Also the later version LAPDOS II with a number of added features: http://www.club100.org/library/doc/lapdosii.html But recently a fellow member, Gary Hammond, wrote a modern version that runs on a wider range of systems and from reports so far seems to work quite well. m ----- Original Message ----- From: James Zeun To: Model 100 Discussion Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2016 8:56 AM Subject: Re: [M100] New command line tool for TPDD and TPDD2 Hi Guys I recently replaced the belt on my TPDD2 and it works fine. Out of interest how are you guys connecting the drive to the PC? I'm guessing I need a 9pin female to 25 pin female adapter between my USB serial adapter and floppy cable. Also what is possible at the moment? Can for instance copy files off the TPDD to my computer? I'm sorry if this has been covered, but trying to go back through all the emails becomes a little laborious.
