Thank you for posting the link to all those pictures. It looks like lots stuff that never made it to your website. As we all know, too many collectors keep their collections very private, with very few allowed to see all the fun. I hope the new owner continues to make the items visible. -- Will

Strange Teledisk question

Hi folks, For the last few weeks I’ve been helping the owner of a PPG2.2 synthesizer get the ‘computer’ side of it, a Waveterm A, running. The Waveterm is a 6809-based single board computer running FLEX that was designed to use 8” drives, then at some point they modified it slightly to use 5.2

Woohoo! What a collection! And none of it junk! Well done. Let me guess: staying in the US, East Coast, southern part? In any case, great that you found an acquirer that could preserve your awesome collecting work. And thanks so much for sharing the nice photos. Marc > On Jun 22, 2018, at 3:34

All the disk images for the Waveterm have been created using programs written by PPG users. For some reason any disk we wrote with them wouldn’t read correctly in the machine itself UNTIL we made a new image of that disk using Teledisk 2.15 then re-wrote it back to the same floppy. My question is

What kind of drives does the Waveterm use? What kind of disk controller? For example: 96tpi (80 tracks per side) drives can read 48tpi (40 tracks per side) disks, and can write them to virgin disks, but, when RE-writing them, leave part of the old (wide) track alongside. Those RE-written dis
