MiSTer (FPGA): Commodore 128DX (WIP) - Trying out the Commodore IEC adapter for the MiSTer
-- Expand for more info --
In this video:
- I connected my Commodore 1581 disk drive #8 to my MiSTer FPGA via the external USB IEC adapter. I loaded the C64 core and used Jiffydos to copy files from a d81 #9 disk to my real 1581 floppy disk #8.
- Then I booted up the Commodore 128DX (WIP) core in 80 columns and loaded dialogue_128_v2.2 Terminal software from my 1581 floppy disk drive and called Level 29 BBS.
- Read a few public messages from Level29 BBS
- Sent a Tweet from Level 29 BBS

I used the C64 core to copy the files to my 1581 disk. I couldn't get the Control Key to work on the C128 core. So I wasn't able to use the Jiffydos shortcuts that require the Ctrl key.
Here is the Jiffydos command I used to copy the files.
@Xn Set destination disk drive (for file copier: see User's Manual pp. 17-21)
/$ (DO NOT USE @$) Load directory from source disk drive (for file copier)
LIST List directory from source disk drive (for file copier)
CTRL-A Toggle copy flag * for All files in a directory (for file copier)
(I didn't use this command) CTRL-W Toggle copy flag for a single file in directory (for file copier)
RUN copy file(s) from source to destination (with the above commands)
