That is awesome to see! I was hoping it would talk a little more about the firmware running on the HD63A01, but the information on the pinout of the gate array chip is interesting and matches up pretty well with what I reverse engineered from the firmware.

I'll have to revisit my reverse engineering of the firmware on the TPDD and see if there is anything to update with this new information. Looks like the returned error codes may be something to add.

Here is a link to the firmware I pulled and decoded from the PDD1: https://github.com/BiggRanger/Tandy_PDD/blob/master/PDD1.ASM

And the whole project: https://github.com/BiggRanger/Tandy_PDD

Maybe if someone has a bad TPDD2 or 2 I can try to get the firmware off of that too.

In the interest of preservation and putting our eggs in multiple baskets, I have mirrored this file to my S3 bucket

Similarly I put it in archive.org
