What is the command you are trying to run to do the copy? Unfortunately I haven't got a Mac so if there is a difference because of the OS, I'm not sure if I can help...
 
It's OK. I finally figured it out. Contacted the author. And he explained it. Thanks!

Very nice little thing I was considering making one of these myself - now I don't have to, shell looks very neat as well, did you share a link for it, I couldn't find one.
 
@e5frog

There is a link to Shapeways in the first post. Are you interested in buying one of the boards? Sorry for the delay but I didn't really check the forum during the Christmas season :)
 
Bump! I have put together all the devices I could with the parts I have remaining, altogether 18 pieces. Since there is not that much demand for these anymore I probably won't order more parts, not for a while anyway. Get one now if you want one!

See the first post for details.
 
PM replied. Have sold a few boards elsewhere since the last update so at the moment 10 left.
 
My item arrived yesterday, nice fast postage. And it's a really high quality item and works fantastic for me, really a brilliant service you provide.
Many thanks.

With this device is possible to use in Windows with Vice emulator like XA1541 cable?
 
@kaini

If it is possible with the ZoomFloppy, it should be possible with this mini version also. But I am not familiar with using a floppy drive with VICE so I don't know for sure.
 
Item arrived today, got it working after a bit of a play around.

For those with Windows 10, search for unsigned driver install.

I installed the unsigned driver and confirmed it was showing correctly in device manager. However, I kept getting the error "NO PLUGIN DRIVER!" when using the cbmctrl detect command.

After a bit of searching I found that "instcbm xum1541" got it working. Not sure why/what this does compared to the standard install.
 
@deanflyer

Good to hear that the device got there safely. Thanks for sharing that information here in case anyone else runs into the same issue!
