Using DivIDE Plus with the Spectrum +3
Posted: Tue Oct 07, 2008 6:26 pmA recent query has shown how best to use the DivIDE Plus with the Spectrum +3 computer.
If you install the Spectrum +3e ROMs on the Spectrum +3, you will need to use the +3e ROM to talk with floppy disk drives and the compact flash (or hard disk) on the DivIDE Plus - see details of the Spectrum +3e upgrade.
In order to do this, you need to disable the DivIDE Plus firmware, by removing the Flash EPROM jumper at the rear of the interface.
You can then use the +3e formatting and partitioning commands on the compact flash card or hard disk.
