Only an fm drive can make a tppd disc. Mfm can't Do It. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_Frequency_Modulation Translation...a standard 3.5 drive can't work. But the idea of a program to make a boot disc is possible provided you have a good Tpdd. On Tuesday, May 29, 2018, Kevin Bec

A little deeper googling is leading me to believe there is a special floppy_sys file on the utility disk that nobody has figured out how to recreate. I'll try it anyway when it arrives but If that ends up being the case, then I wonder if there is anyone on the list who would be willing to make my

I don't believe you can create one with a PC floppy controller. I'd buy a copy off of someone is I could. For now, I'm planning on using the python library on Linux box connected to the drive to create the disk. I'd much rather just have the floppy. On Tue, May 29, 2018 at 2:31 PM Kevin Becker wr

I've been watching eBay on and off for a TPDD or TPDD2 complete with cable at a reasonable price for what feels like forever. I finally pulled the trigger on one today but doesn't include the utility diskette. I already have a REX with TS-DOS and I know how to bootstrap TEENY if necessary, but I'
