On the other side the core part of my dumper is the floppy side code and the way it is uploaded (using buffer pointer, writing code to (user) buffer 2) and then executed using Ux commands (pointing to the user buffer #2). The shell script is just something someone can easily translate into some basic commands. > For instance, I only have regular > XM1541, C2N232I and could probably hack together a PC64 cable, but I > understand neither would be sufficient unless you produce a PET binary > that will send the floppy routine, retrieve it in RAM and store > elsewhere. It should be no problem to write a little Basic program that does exactly this. If time is not the problem than the most easy way would be to fecht a memory page from the floppy into the PETs RAM and then sending that page back to the floppy, but into a file. A more elaborate way would be to have the job code directly dump the ROM's contents into a file previously opened. > Since it is possible to dump e.g. 8050 floppy disks through > cbmlink (C2N232, PC64 cable etc), I suppose it should be possible to > send the routine and retrieve the ROM data over the same line? > > While I'm sure ZoomFloppy is the answer to most of our needs, many of us > don't own it yet which would pose a problem in helping you with the > dumping. Honestly, I left translating to main program of my dumper as a little home exercise for all of you ;-) But I'm willing to extend the dumper a bit as long as "the community" or the archive at Zimmer's will receive some fresh and authentic ROM image copies from all the floppy disk drives you own.
