Hello,
I tried this program in x64 and got it to work after a while:
10 OPEN 1,8,15:FOR I=0 TO 10:PRINT I;
20 PRINT#1,"M-W"CHR$(I)CHR$(5)CHR$(1)CHR$(I):NEXT
25 PRINT:REM LINE BREAK
30 FORI=0 TO 10:PRINT#1,"M-R"CHR$(I)CHR$(5)
40 GET#1,A$:PRINTASC(A$+CHR$(0)):NEXT
50 CLOSE 1
Of course I need true drive emulation, but I also had to select a different
type of drive to get it to work first time, i.e. it defaulted to 1541 in
which it only returned 199. Then I changed to 1541-II where the program ran
fine and back to 1541 where it also ran OK. I don't know if the emulated
floppy drive needs to be enabled in some way. Some sources suggest that you
should initialize the drive (I0) before the M-W. Perhaps you could also try
to reset the drive (UJ) to be sure it is in a clean state?
It is true though that when running the same program in xpet and 8250 drive
(using buffer $12), it hangs. I didn't immediately find any document with
the 8050/8250 memory map, but I assume you got the number correct, that the
drive indeed has a RAM buffer in that location?
Best regards
