Yep, the manual says to keep it in Lisa mode (although I've tried Macintosh mode before with the same results). Honestly, thinking there might be something up with the Emu. I've never used it on another machine since it just came with the Lisa. I'll try it on a Macintosh once I get near my collection again...

Quote I think that rainbow cable is not a stock Lisa cable...? I wonder if that could also be a contributing factor? Both of my 2/10s came with that exact same rainbow cable and they work great with the Floppy Emu, so I think it might be stock in certain systems. Quote Since you are using MacWorks, try using the Floppy Emu's Macintosh mode (rather than Lisa). I'm pretty sure you need it in Lisa mode even in MacWorks, right? Or at least that's how I have mine set up. I think the mode accounts for differences between the floppy controller hardware in the Mac and the Lisa, not differences between the operating systems themselves. Quote On this point, If I want to setup Xenix, Uniplus Unix, or any other non-Apple OS, should I be in Macintosh mode or Lisa mode? Going off what I said above, I always keep mine in Lisa mode and it works fine with every OS that was made for the Lisa, so maybe something's weird with your disk images! |

Yesterday I was trying to install both Xenix and Unix in Lisa mode and I was having some disk errors installing files from Xenix floppy images and a couple issues getting Unix to finish installing. Not sure if it's me, the disk images, or the floppy emu :/ |

Here is a video demonstrating my process. I have flashed the FloppyEmu with the newest firmware update. Let me know if there is something I am doing wrong |

Just to confirm: You have flashed your Floppy Emu with the Macintosh and Lisa firmware and have it in Lisa mode, correct?

I've got my Floppy Emu hooked straight to a 2/5 I/O board right now, using one of these I see that RolandJuno's Breakout Board makes no connection to pin 20 of the floppy connector, which is where the PWM speed signal would be. I suspect this confirms that the Floppy Emu doesn't need the PWM signal (come to think of it, maybe the 800k drive didn't use it either, only the 400k?), in which case, OP's issue seems unrelated to the Lite Adapter. Perhaps the Floppy Emu software version is relevant? |

It's really odd that this isn't just working for you as-is! I've got my Floppy Emu hooked straight to a 2/5 I/O board right now, using one of these cool card cage breakout boards, and it works perfectly, without a Lite Adapter or anything in between. And there isn't any hardware that modifies the floppy signals on the breakout board either. Unless I'm missing something obvious here, I don't see any reason why the same thing wouldn't apply in an actual 2/10 chassis.

Time is increasingly becoming a valuable commodity for me until VCFSW is over and some other projects are behind me, so I can't do much on this. However...
For those taking a crack at this, feel free to use and expand upon work I've already completed. Never thought anyone would get any use out of this thing but now it looks like someone might! Heck, if someone wants to figure out what's needed to adapt this and can provide me updates to the schematic, I can probably spare some time to draw an updated PCB for it; can't imagine it would take that long. In any case, good luck and Godspeed. |

For whatever reason, this 2/10 has a 2/5 IO board. I (and no doubt others too) will be pleased to help. I suggest we discuss off-list and post the results. I have sent you an email. If anyone else wants to participate in the discussion, let us know and we can CC or make it a separate topic on-list. |
