Just in case someone needs i made two archives from the torrent floating around, with almost all software available in internet for M20 One archive is for using in MAME and tools like WRM20, the other to copy files in GOTEK. Both archives have all the img FIXED with good Sector 0 so they are all...

I suppose here there is some original M20 project manager or the son maybe... ;-)

No thanks ! I'm informatic guy, not electrotechnic ! I'm not good in soldering and that stuff, only basic level (and maybe less than basic). So now the M20 is working good, i have all software possibile, i create floppies of PCOS and main programs just for "satisfaction" and maybe i'll sell it...

Yes i see on manual, no hope for me, i have 160k (plus a 32k not working). Anyway in m20 site the link of pascal are wrong, all same disk 1. I wrote to owner weeks ago but no reply, maybe is no more looking at it... Not a big problem, at university i maed all in Turbo Pascal on pc, was really a...

Well done ! Really a small size&clever project ! (y)

If somenone is interested i found a torrent with ALL the available software (always almost the same but pascal is correct 4 disks for example) and i made a small batch to "injects" the sector 0 to have a good img for gotek usage. Then you can create real floppy on a M20 ;-)

Thanks, i did it ;-) Some link on the famous m20 site are wrong, i wanted to try Pascal (i used at 1' university year) but all 4 links are the same disk . Not a big problem anyway

Hi ! I'm in Italy, Ivrea, the town of Olivetti ! :-) I "solved" the problem thanks a good menber of this forum TPAXIA, he suggested me to connect a Gotek (i have connected from years to an Amiga) and gave me a good pcos file .img to start. He made also the def file to use it in Gotek. So i have...

Hi ! Thaks to all. Yestarday I had SOME success connecting the floppy reader of M20 to old Peniumt 200 pc. Are 360k floppy readers. I connected floppy 1 as A: but with power from M20 itself (i discover now the different layout of power connector!). In this way i was able to read and write msdos...

Thanks, i know that site but there is no "practical" information about IF is possible to connect M20 floppies to normal old pc. IF possible i can try to write disks. If not i have to find other 5.25 reader (maybe from M24???) with 360k format to try. Also i write here in forum because seems...

Hi to all ! I found an Olivetti M20 in a friend house, in working condition. It has two ram exapansion and one was faulty, simply removing all seems ok. It has also the double serial interfacecard. Two floppy version, i suppose monochrome monitor. But i have no floppy of PCOS and is not clear to...
