Note
Two drive designators (A: and B:) will be assigned regardless of how
many drives you specify in SETUP.
5. If, in SETUP, you entered 0 drives, access to either A: or B: will cause
the PC Microcontroller to return an error message.
If you want to boot from the floppy disk using your own DOS or a full
ROM-DOS refer to the section, Adding operating system startup files, in
the Save and run programs chapter.

Floppy disk drive interface on the 6010
The 6010 PC Microcontroller supports one or two 3.5" or 5.25" floppy
drives via a 34-pin IDC connector at J8. Both floppy drives use DMA
channel 2.
WARNING!
J8 and J2 are 34-pin IDC connectors and may be mistaken
for each other due to their physical similarities. Do not
connect the floppy disk drive into J2, the AUX I/O port, or
severe damage will occur to the floppy disk drive. Be certain
that you connect the floppy disk drive to the interface at J8.

Installing a floppy disk drive with the 6010 on-board FDD
interface
1. Install the 6010 PC Microcontroller.
2. Connect the floppy disk drive cable to J8 on the 6010.
3. Floppy disk drives req5V (for example, Octagon’s 5814), are
powered directly from the floppy port. W2[2–4] must be enabled to
supply in5V to a 5V only floppy drive. Floppy drives requiring
+12V must use an external power supply. Do not install W2[2–4] if
external power is supplied to the floppy drive.
