# Micro-SCI / Franklin Apple ][ Floppy Drive Controller
|
|
|
|
This is a clone of the Micro-SCI / Franklin floppy drive controller.
|
|
|
|
v0.1 is a direct clone, reverse-engineered from a Micro-SCI board. It was cross-checked with a Franklin-branded board, as well as the (belatedly discovered) official Franklin schematic (included in doc/service_and_schematics.pdf)
|
|
|
|
v0.2 has the following enhancements over the original design:
|
|
|
|
* the 2708 EPROM has been replaced with a more-common 2716/2732 EPROM
|
|
* decoupling capacitors have been added
|
|
* footprints for all capacitors and resistors have been modernized
|
|
* firmware EPROM bank selection jumpers replaced with a DIP switch
|
|
* obsolete MPS-U51 transistor replaced with modern equivalent
|
|
* clearly-marked calibration test points have been added
|
|
* ground pours used to increase operational stability
|
|
* support for using Floppy Emu in dual-drive emulation mode with one cable
|
|
|
|
Firmware images can be built via the Makefile in the firmware subdirectory. The build framework requires cc65.
|
|
|
|

|
## EPROM bank select switches (J4)
|
|
|
|
* 1:off 2:off - controller test firmware (0x0000)
|
|
* 1:off 2: on - 16-sector firmware (0x0100)
|
|
* 1: on 2:off - 13-sector firmware (0x0200)
|
|
* 1: on 2: on - firmware "put jumpers here" splash screen (0x0300)
|
|
|
|
## Calibration procedure
|
|
|
|
* set J4 to off/off ("controller test firmware")
|
|
* connect oscilloscope to TP1
|
|
* start machine
|
|
* execute "call 50688"
|
|
* execute "AAW" (and immediately hit ESC)
|
|
* adjust R1 until waveform period is 5.4 microseconds
|
|
* connect oscilloscope to TP2
|
|
* execute "99W" (and immediately hit ESX)
|
|
* adjust R2 until waveform period is 3.8 microseconds
|
|
* card is now calibrated, power off machine and set J4 to "16-sector firmware"
|
|
|
|
## Construction notes
|
|
|
|
* J3 can be omitted if this controller is used with a FloppyEmu
