Another question in this context: Is it possible to load additional software / files into a running emulation? I.e. I started the emulation with a simple DOS disk image and want to load Word Perfect afterwards. Thanks! Martin.

Hi Paul, many thanks, sometimes a single dot makes the difference, now it works! Regarding the speed of the emulation, I am comparing it to my real machine, the emulation seems to be a little bit slower than the real one. Best, Martin.

Hi, downloaded the ROMs from Archive.org, now I tried it with a 612kB Disc Image (UserDisc), please see the error message: According to the error message, the Image file could not be found, currently I have the Image file in the same directory as the MAME Emulator, does it belong anywhere else...

Thanks to you both, I will try this tonight. Best, Martin.

Hi Paul, tried to get the emulator running, by doing the following: - Downloaded MAME from https://www.mamedev.org/index.php on my WIN 10 64-Bit Machine - Installed it - Copied the V9K S1 ROMs (.bin Files) into the 'roms' folder Trying to run the emulator with a bootable image (MSDOS.img)...

Dear Paul, many thanks for your explanations, good to read from you again! This sounds like a great project, I will try to get the emulator running, the infotext is even in German :-) Cheers, Martin.

Hi all, having fun with my working V9K HDD Emulator, I was browsing through the software archive on archive.org and saw a few screenshots which made me curious, please find an example attached. As this session in the the screenshot is obviously running on a Mac, I would like to raise the...

Hi djg, sorry for my late reply, I was 'out of order' being sick. I have checked the emulator file, since I have renamed st412_b in emufile_a right after the test, I performed the test with this: debian@BeagleBone:~$ mfm_util --emu emufile_a --ext /tmp/t --ana Original decode arguments...

Hi @pdevine , many thanks for this feedback, did you try some of the programs in the emu file as well? Regarding the conversation above and for reference, maybe you could try the CHESS game. Cheers, Martin.

Hi @djg , I will look it up and give it a try. Yes, I did no errors when executing from Floppy, most time, my impression is, the longer the floppy has to work, the more reading errors it gets. Yes, it is, please see an example screenshot attached. The Chess game is working fine from floppy...

That sounds fantastic! I'll have to try that, how do I load the .ans file? This is even more better, going back to our initial (Software) discussion I saw something very Victor - Unfamiliar on one or two of the pictures you're posted. Has this had been prototypes? :) I would be very interested...

Hi, then I suppose it's time for a new update of the board. ;-) I made this (st412_b) my default autostart emu file. The emulation starts well most of the time, sometimes it is getting stuck in the middle of booting DOS, mostly before loading the port drivers. Unfortunately I haven't made an...

Thanks Gary! This is what I learned at first, it is quite an effort to keep one machine working, I cannot imagine what gigantic task it must be, having museum of these treasures around! I am traveling to the UK a few times a year on business purpose and will definitely visit the Northwest...

Hi, I am not sure how many Victor users we have here, but I would be very interested what you are doing with your machines. - Are you using them 'just for fun' or are you doing 'serious business' with them :-) As I have now got a working (@djg 's) emulation board in my HDD Model and tested a...

Many thanks @djg ! Then I will make this file my default file. Next step will be trying to create a larger image, i.e. 20MB, let's see if that works as well. Best, Martin.

Hi djg, I followed your instructions, everything went quite smooth, here's the new file. I would be happy if you could comment on this. Thanks in advance! Martin.

Hi djg, thanks for this offer! I will redo a copy of the file with your instructions and report back. Best, Martin.

Hi Paul, Thanks for your explanation, this might be far beyond my capabilities. I think, you’re right SYSELECT ist the right tool for this job, I was just afraid of doing any damage to my fragile success at this time, but now, as I have made safety copies of my emu file it might be worth a try...

Hi, a little bit earlier: please find attached my emu file, I did not rename it. I was checking the RAM via RAMTEST V4:: With the extension card (384kB), the test failed and program was frozen after the screen attached was displayed, please see screenshot attached. Without the extension...

Thanks @djg , @davidrg and @pdevine ! I will try to transfer files in binary mode and report how this went. Next slot for this should be on Sunday. :) @pdevine, yes, I am very glad that the emulation worked finally (impressive, how fast and easy @djg 's board boots the Victor) , many thanks...
