- DESCRIPTION
-
- Have you ever connected to Amiga or repaired an external drive? If so,
- you discovered that you need to know, what is drive signalizing to Amiga and
- sometimes you need send certain signals or sequence of signals to the drive.
- This program was written for these occasions.
- Program has GUI - signals are controled using gadgets, received signals
- are displayed as 'pseudogadgets'. You can directly control all eight signals
- of the drives (MOTOR, SIDE, DIR, STEP and SELECT 0-3) and you see what is
- physical level of four signals (READY, TRACK0, WR PROT and CHANGE) Amiga's
- receiving.
- Although it's directly accessing hardware registers, it's as clean as
- possible, because it allocates all units by disk.resource. There may be
- little dislike that it slows down computer, because it looks ten-times per
- second for any change of received signals, but it's necessary.
-
- NOTE: Signals are displayed 'as is' using their physical (not logical!)
- level ("What can you measure by V-meter").
