The DART / SIO are cool chips for the Z80. They are even cooler when used together with IM2 interrupts. 

Did you try to connect two of your cards to each other, instead CPC to PC?
Maybe this helps to find the problem.

A too weak (regarding Volts) PSU is imho by far to cause of problems. Do you have a Y cable (5 Volt supply) and can measure Volts? Should not be too far under 5 Volts.

Hmm 5 years without reporting any new version of FutureOS on my web site

Where was I ?

Well sorry, it's corrected.

Never mind! 

In few weeks the real update will come - including all applications updated for mass storage support (M4 SD card). 

Right now I'm still doing some tests, to be sure that everything works well.

Bryce.

Isn't a Raspi Pico not similar to Arduino nano? What I have seen is that both are around 10€. Which would had a better use?

This happens, if you define hl as a label with the value #0000
You cannot view this attachment.

WinApe is doing everything correctly.

The Pico can act as a USB keyboard. So you can connect the notebook keyboard pins to the GPIO pins, install some software and use the keyboard as a USB keyboard through the Pico. 

here it is done with retro computer keyboards, but it should be similar for your keyboard.

Thanks for the nice video @eto. At least I got an idea how to proceed.

I can confirm there will be a .dsk file of the type-in available too. I've just added it to my website, ready for when the magazine comes out. The link is in the magazine, and I'll put a public link on my website when the magazine's out too.

I bought these: HERMA 4355 from here https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B000M2490I

They are for 3.5" discs but they are close enough to match 3" disks. See picture attached. There is a small gap. It's not perfect but it looks SO much better than anything I cut on my own.

Seems there are counterparts with the same dimensions: AVERY 3661, Printation 4279 3661
