This is wrong. EmuTOS does not need a byte swap. It autodetects. I am using it right now without a swap cable.
Your right, Emutos auto detects. Sorry for being vague. But TOS 2.06 does not

Not twisted. DO NOT TRY AND WRITE to your disk yet.. it will corrupt it.

Back home and armed and ready to test :lol:

I've not tested the latest firmware that corrupts on writing to HD but am testing with the previous version.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Try this one... No cable swap needed. But no idea how IDE performs... but its 100% plug and play.

I've been able to create files and save my desktop.

@terriblefire That sounds cool, will give it a go and report back.

Edit:

Booting with that firmware for me gives 11 bombs on both my H4 and Mega ST. Bootung with EmuTOS shows no hard drives.

Booting reliably on my H4 here. :/

Will not work with a twisted IDe cable.

EDIT: this is my up to date one...
