I've got my TRUDIE v5.2 plugged into my H4 & appears to be working fine...but how do I change the ROM image selection (bottom/top or top/bottom) now the TRUDIE is installed?...
It should still be the jumper on the mommy board. Trudie is only a decoder for 256K roms to another address (well, IDE as well of course ;) ).

@JezC No time to break things at the moment, feel free to steal my job :P
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Ok, moving the jumper didn't work first time... :blonde: ...so after I removed it a second time (and found & removed the stray wire shorting the pins) it booted into the EmuCON command line.
Which shows it is now working...but that I have an EPROM in there with the custom EmuTOS floppy loader rather than TOS 2.06 or EmuTOS programmed into it.

So, job for later is to erase an EPROM & then program it up with TOS 2.06 (and maybe EmuTOS 256k after that)...

Managed to find & fix a previously undiscovered build problem with my assembled H4 without breaking it! :yay: :yay2: :dualthumbup: :cheer:

Now to see if I can change that EPROM for TOS 2.06 and/or EmuTOS...then get the TF536 you provided running in the H4 again...
