Could this have anything to do with ABBA's station selector?

When connecting GOTEK HXC to Schneider PCW8256 (there is already a 3 "180 kB drive) I do not have cooperation between GOTEK (A :) and floppy disk drive (B:) ... CP / M sees two stations, but it is because it is formatted this way USB flash drive for GOTEK ... Does anyone know any tutorial, description, manual (preferably in English) on how to include GOTEK in a system with a floppy disk drive to make it work properly?!?

Micza on the Athens forum with the same topic you mention something about CP / M 1.7
where did you find it, from the early 1980s the most common was 2.2, and at the end of those years 3.0, and these were also included in PVC.


And if you can handle English, maybe log in and ask about this problem on cpcwiki.eu
there are sections and threads about PVC.

To drill, it's probably better to wait until they finish the color graphics project for PVC.

I have one without a drive and I would like to give it to someone who wants to cook it and run it.
The catch is that it can be picked up in person or by a poured courier.

Then someone else has to color some games for it - and it will rather take time; D

Well, it turns out that not too much, because many games were simply ported together with colors that could not be displayed anyway:
