Re: TF1230 Eprom issue
Diagrom should report 256Mb of ram. Thats correct behaviour for current diagrom.

Re: TF1230 Eprom issue
Do you have some daft sector size on your disks? This can cause issues with ehide as discussed elsewhere. The only thing i can suggest is a test firmware that makes the TF ide become the default to rule out the driver.sparx wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 11:27 amThank you...I have already, but will give it another goterriblefire wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 11:25 am

The original card that I upgraded to 128Mb suddenly decided it would boot from 3.0 rom with both IDE hooked up and addmem enabled...I could see both drives and had full 128Mb.
The only thing I did was disable and re-enable ehide in startup-sequence, using same cf/sd cards and adptors etc
The problematic TF board also decided to boot once I'd shortened the IDE ribbon on the TF IDE to 3cm! (It was only 10cm before trimming and worked on the other board)Totally impractical, but major progress...I also flashed that board with the alpha firmware you linked, it boots, both drives there and reports full 128Mb!
Just about to try both boards on 3.1 roms...
EDIT: Problematic board now booted on 3.1!! Just need to work out max length of IDE ribbon
@terriblefire Thank you so much for the time and patience!
I have no clue what made one board spring back to life (apart from the ehide thing) but the other was a combo of fw/cable length

Re: TF1230 Eprom issue
If your IDE cables are longer than a couple of inches forget it. It wont work. You need a buffer. Go0se designed one based on the TF536.

Re: TF1230 Eprom issue
I never thought to check cable length, I knew it could be an issue but as my 2x 1260 and my other 1230 was ok with 10 to 15cm I never even thought to look in to it!terriblefire wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 12:26 pm If your IDE cables are longer than a couple of inches forget it.

But, still very weird how the other one just sprang back to life by simply disabling/reenabling ehide
Ehide worked just fine when that card had 64Mb and it still has a 15cm ribbon
