For people in the UK that have purchased cards internationally and don't want to deal with customs fees, I offer a fast and free (you pay postage) flashing service.

Unless you smacktalk Stephen, then it's gonna cost ££££

PM me please, don't litter this thread.

@terriblefire Now with the knowledge of what the problem was, is it only likely to cause lock ups when using the TF536 IDE? I am using a Buddha IDE card and if I don't have to send it off for reflashing, I won't.

Thank you,
Matt.

Have been vigorously testing this on my A500 rev. 6, A500+ and A1000 without any issues.
Great work, and thank you!

Edit: And on my Nth copying from folder -> RAM: -> folder it started going in slow motion. Floppy clicks from everything between 6 to 12 seconds. But it didn't hang, though. Just took longer time.
(Happened when RAM-disk was almost full, so might be something unrelated)

Yes, this won't make any difference for Buddha, it is 536 IDE only.

There are two files r1 and r2 in the zip file, do I understand correctly that r2 is for reversion 2b card?

Flash the one thats for your revision of the board. There arent many rev1s out there

Flashed my rev 1 no issues. Is there a better test case than just copying files indefinitely?

Nah its pretty boring. I'd asked @Daedalus to write me an arexx script to keep Dopus doing stuff but after i got the issue to reproduce in a unit test i figured we're good.

What is the INT2/DTACK issue?

:edit: nevermind I see it mentioned in the other thread specific to write issues
