Hi all !
Good news, the SmartportVHD/USB successfully passed compatibility tests
on the following hardware combinations:
Computer: Apple //c ROM 3.5
Operating system: Prodos 8
Devices combinations:
+ SpVHD
+ SpVHD + Disk //c
+ SpVHD + Unidisk 3.5
+ SpVHD + Unidisk 3.5 + Disk //c (could exceed the Apple 2c power specs)
+ Unidisk 3.5 + SpVHD + Disk //c (could exceed the Apple 2c power specs)
Computer: Apple IIgs ROM 03, with and without IIgs MicroDrive
Operating system: Prodos 8, GS/OS 6 without additional driver
Devices combinations:
+ SpVHD
+ SpVHD + Unidisk 5.25
+ Apple 3.5 + SpVHD
Others combinations are not tested yet, but should work as well until
smartport's rules are followed (wich raise some practical issues
concerning the boot device if the board is hosted within a floppy drive)
Apple IIe/Liron and Apple //c+ are not tested.
The full presentation of the project will be done during upcoming weeks,
including final cost.
Cedric.
