File contents
I have been asked to write about my Cumana Disc Drive. I cant remember when I got it, in the late 80's I think, my son who now lives in Sheffield, but did live in Hatfield near London, went to a Computer show and bought it there. It has a cartridge which slots into my Plus 1, usually the back slot so I can use VIEW in the front slot.It has a T2CU chip which is fitted in the cartridge so I can transfer from tape (this came from Slogger, again bought at the show). The T2CU doesnt load all the game sometimes you have to have some on disc and the rest on tape, not enough room, but its still faster than just tape. Some games are very long and have alot of programs. There is another place on the ribbon for another disc drive, it looks like 32 OR 36 pins. It is Drive 0 and I have never tried to make it go into another drive as I thought 0 was the only one it had. I have had quite alot of used floppy discs given me, I believe they were got at a car boot some wont format, but only a few. There were two books with it, one for the BBC, also a Utility Disc, which has many programs, FORMAT, VERIFY, COPY, BACK UP, SET TIME, ACORN DFS TO CUMANA DFS or vice versa, DISC EDITOR and CHANGE DRIVE OPTIONS. I only wish it would do double sided as most of the discs I use are double sided disc. I would be able to get alot more on. A disc has 9 sectors and 512 bytes per track, and it is Double Density, 40 Track. When I first received the Magazine I couldnt read the disc and had to use the conversion program on the Utilities disc, so it transferred the data from Acorn DFS to Cumana FDS, this was on Issues 12 & 13, but now I am having troubles with 14 so I expect Gus is getting fed up with me as 15 will be out soon. But we will get it sorted I hope. I had thought of getting another drive maybe a 3.5 disc. But I am not able to afford it right now. Sheila Bridges I SEEM TO REMEMBER READING A REVIEW IN EU SOME YEARS AGO ABOUT CUMANA. THEY WERE IMPRESSED WITH IT. LIKE SO MANY IDEAS WHICH WERE DEVELOPED FOR THE ELK THE VOICE BOX, FIRST BYTES JOYSTICK INTERFACE NOT TO MENTION COMPANIES WHOSE SOFTWARE CLASHED WITH THE PLUS ONE IT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN KNOBBLED BY ACORN. A COMPANY WITH A DEATH WISH IF EVER I SAW ONE AND FROM RECENT SALES FIGURES THEY MIGHT GET THEIR WISH YET AS THE CLUMSEY PROGRESS OF THE UBIQUITOUS IBM PC LUMBERS ON TO EVER MORE POWERFUL POINTLESSNESS AND SPEED OR LACK OF IT. WE HERE AT THE OFFICES OF EUG HAVE BEEN PRESSING OUR LITTLE BRAINS RELENTLESSLY ON THE PROBLEM OF DESIGNING A DISK FORMAT FOR OUR CUMANA OWNING BRETHREN AS YET WITH NO SUCCESS. OUR SHELIA HAS HAD TO ACCEPT EUG ON TAPE WHICH WHILE BEING OF THE FINEST QUALITY INCORPORATING AS IT DOES THE RICHARD DIMOND MENU SYSTEM SOMEHOW LACKS THE SNAP OF DISK. CAN ANYONE OUT THERE HELP? WHAT HAVE WE BEEN DOING WRONG? SHELIA SIMPLY CANNOT GET HER DFS EUG DISKS TO TRANSFER TO CUMANA. BY THE WAY THE DFS WE USE IS SLOGGERS PEGASUS, NOT ACORN. APPOLOGIES FOR THE PRETENSION. THIS HAS BEEN A TRYING PROBLEM NOT LEAST FOR SHELIA WHO HAS BEEN SO PATIENT. THANKYOU SHELIA. EUG 15 Aug 1994
