Few minor bugs on the TF536

Post by alenppc »

Here are a couple of minor bugs that I found so far on the 536.

1) Easy to reproduce, minor:
When accessing the Early Startup, press any key. Expected behaviour would be screenmode change (60>50 Hz and vice versa). What happens instead is that the machine reboots. This did not occur on the rev1.

2) Easy to reproduce, very minor:
FA18Interceptor WHDLoad only works with "NOVBRMOVE" tootype. This occurs on the rev1 TF536 also. It does not occur on the TF330. (I am using the same CF card setup for both, available upon request).

3) Easy to reproduce, minor:
FerrariFormulaOne WHDLoad game crashes on the 536. This occurs on both the rev1 and the rev2b 536. (NOVBRMOVE doesn't help in this case). This does not occur on the TF330.

This is pointing at a clock phase issue.

I'm also wondering if this is an issue that may stop certain STs from booting
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Works for me on this rev 6A A500! No problem at all!

Again works fine for me! I didn't check or change the tooltype.

Don't have this one on my CF card! Will dig it out later and somehow get it on there.

I had been trying to use kicstart 3.1.4.
Ide speeds are round 300kb/s
So I can confirm what @8 Bit Dreams reported before.

Ok on CF I have 700kb, but all SDs so far are in 300kb range. Maybe 3.1.4 doesn't like my SD2IDE, or some of my SDs.

That’s odd. I can reproduce the ESM issue on every board. But this could be my Amiga only. The whdload issues may depend on your installation. Do you have the mmu libs? I can give you a link to download my cf image and try.
