Sharp MZ

Hi! Iam interested in Sharp Sharp MZ80b-FI any compatible card that works with my SHARP MZ80B in order to read CP/M disks

Thank you for your time

Hi my friend... Still searching for a good candidate schematic to 'emulate' via fpga design. Ia m thinking of implementig K & P FDC800 card https://original.sharpmz.org/usedskdrives.htm According to datasheet controller chip has the same mapping with original mz80b chip FDD controller So why not?

has Pok replied yet?

Thank you both of you! for the infos.

I think this is a a long term project.
I will inform you af any proggress....

Hi! Tingo Thank you for a quick response my friend. You are asolutely right about ALL you thioughts, Let me 'walk through' one by one to express my opinion on your thoughts: - mechanical - does the card physically fit into the connector on the machine? No I think the card does not fit into MZ80B exp...

Still didn't managed to find an FDD interface card for my 80B. Do you think that an Sharp MZ1E05 will be in any way compatible with MZ80B-FI Sharp MZ80b-FI ? I know that MZ80b-FI card has no eprom and uses in-built IPL routines but do you think the rest of hardware will be compatible? Alex ;)

Hi S_U_C! Sorry for the off-topic but I would like your opinion on this: Do you think that an SHARP MZ1E05 FDD card works on MZ80B with signal rewiring? I know that 80B has its own FDD controller code on board intead if the MZ1E05 on board eprom but as it uses the same chip do you think is will be p...

Hlide, what you said is true my friend. I think there is a different approach involving 80B as I the fw already includes FDD support. (there is no eprom on MZ80b floppy card) I own a MZ80B BUT with no FDD controller and I really like to run CP/M on it! I had no luck finding an FDD card so far . ;)

Ηi to all out there!

Do you know if there is a MZ80B future support of the unicard.
I am searching for a floppy interface for my SHARP MZ80B!

thank you for your time

I also use one similar to this on my MZ80K and is working fine....
