Grease Weazle and TI disk images

[Shift838]

Has anyone been able to get TI Disk images to write to a disk using the Grease Weazle hardware?

here's a quick and dirty write in linux  ~/.local/bin/gw write /mnt/emuroms/ti994a/gotek/defend_dsk.hfe --tracks="c=0-39" --drive=0

 

it doesn't support dsk files native you have to convert to hfe  I use the lotherek tools to do so

Will this work for any TI format (90k, 180k, 360K) ? I know for 720k and for 80track modded controllers, it would have to be 0-79 tracks.

All,

 

I have made a quick video of reading and writing TI-99 disk with the GreaseWeazle.

I spent a lot of time this weekend doing this and @Shift838's video was a lot of help, thank you!

 

I only had luck with v9t9 images (90k) and the newer HxC converter software releases (non-stable) didn't work as well.

I'm using a Panasonic 360k 5.25 drive with my TI99.  I use a similar drive with my GreaseWeazel (and scp)

I also don't have a twist cable so I had to muck with the --drive parameter.
