 Testing your routine, seems my controller is latching the value. each time i peek the port, got the previous value.

 Looking at it. thanks

 Ok. changed timings on the signal and now, ports are ok and the controller is ready.... now struggling with "not a dos disk"

now struggling with "not a dos disk"
This means: reading boot sector successfully, but the readed data not a valid FAT boot sector.
I suggest use EPDOS Disk Editor, for easy view what readed.
After enter EPDOS, press Abort on disk error, navigate to the D-EDIT, start it, Abort on disk error, press CTRL+F8 for switch Track/Sector mode.
ALT+Up/Down track change, ALT+Left/Right sector change, CTRL+Left/Right side change.

 Thanks for the tip.... all 00.... back to code diving....

 Still fighting with the fdd controller... :(

 i was thinking in problems with the disk image. so i have tried to format it.  (reading still getting "no OS disk") it seems to start the format and afer two or three seconds. "not ready"

In case it is any help, this is the loop within EXDOS that reads disk data:

Code: ZiLOG Z80 Assembler
  1. ;   READ COMMANDS  -  READ SECTORS, READ ADDRESS and READ TRACK
  2. ;
  3. ;
  4. READ:   CALL    GET_CMD                 ;Get FDC command and timeout
  5.         OUT     (C),A                   ;Give command to FDC chip
  6.         SET     3,C                     ;Point to external status port 
  7. ;
  8. ; WAIT FOR FIRST DRQ WITH TIMEOUT.  138T (34.5us) per loop.
  9. ;
  10. RD_WT1: JR      $+2             ;13T    Padding
  11.         LD      A,0             ;8 T    Padding
  12.         IN      A,(C)           ;14T
  13.         JP      M,RD_LP         ;11T    Jump if got DRQ
  14.         DEC     DE              ;7 T    Decrement timeout count
  15.         IN      A,(C)           ;14T    Padding
  16.         IN      A,(C)           ;14T
  17.         JP      M,RD_LP         ;11T    Jump if got DRQ
  18.         LD      A,D             ;5 T   
  19.         OR      E               ;5 T

  21.         IN      A,(C)           ;14T
  22.         JP      P,RD_WT1        ;11T    Loop if still no DRQ

  30. RD_WT:  IN      A,(C)           ;14T   
  31.         AND     82H             ;8 T    Look at DRQ and INTRQ bits
  32.         JR      Z,RD_WT         ;8/13T  Wait if neither set
  33.         JP      M,RD_LP         ;11T    Jump if DRQ is set
  34. ;
  35.         JR      DONE_X          ;Exit when INTRQ occurs  
  36.  
  37.  
  38. GET_CMD:
  39. ;
  40. ;    Determine correct FDC command by including "settle delay" flag if
  41. ; required.  Also determine correct timeout delay for read and verify
  42. ; depending on "motor on" flag.  Write will ignore this value.

I don't know what happened there, and sorry the tabs size is mixed up but hopefully it is usable. Ignore the bit at the end that says ". str_ireplace(' [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] '" I did not add that, the "system" did! :lol:

It is a forum bug :oops:
At the code block start with code=z80, then working.

 Still in the same point.... but some doubts.

  In the real hardware, each time i change unit (from A: to B:) the ep ask me to put a disk in the drive (there is a floppy in the drive) but the FPGA simply try to read the drive. Also, i only have one drive, but the fpga try to access inexistent drives. How it detect the drives?

It does a WD1770 "Restore" command, waits for the WD to become non-busy in the status resgister (bit 0 == 0), and then looks at bit 2 of the status register, which should be 0 if the drive head is now at track 0.

After testing drive A: in this way, it repeats for drive B:. For emulating a one-drive system, bit 2 of the status register needs to be 0 for drive A: and 1 for drive B:. after a "Restore" command.

Just a thought... are you using a FPGA Z80? If you are, does the IN A,(C) instruction set the flags? The code I posted earlier relies on this but it is probably not the most frequently used Z80 feature!

  As far as i recall i have used it in the past. T80 is a good Z80 implementation. I think the problem is in the 1770 controller. seems it is seting the tr00 bit without "inserted disk" (really a monted image)
