Ok, never set an Atari HD up before, hence wanting to cheat but will work it out quick enough :)
ah...
Well you need to get HD10 for starters...

My ROM is flipped now, so just going to be waiting until I have time tomorrow night to do the patches.

Sounds good Phil. Looks like your making good progress.
I just check the rom image with sys info and it shows up @ $e00000 and $fc0000 so it should boot either 1.04 or 2.06 just as designed. Just finished looking through stuff in the shed and no 245's ;) ;) ;) Going to need to wait for the ones I order last night in desperation. Really sucks when ya know you have something and can't find it. You watch when the others get here the ones I have will fall off a shelf and hit me in the head. :crazy: :crazy: Guess I'll go make the 1.04/2.06 eprom.

I bet you find them when you are looking for some 244's and cant find those.
Great progress all three of you. :bravo:
I like the fit of the board in the Mega looks neat - PaulJ

Ya, I've found about 20 244's.. sometimes I just find it unbelievable. .. ;) ;)
The only physical issue is half the center post of the lid is covered but I think half a drill width can take care of that. Looks like it was made for a mega!!

Well just made a 1.04/2.06 rom and the mega can boot into either. With both versions I can dump $e00000 and $fc0000 and the same code is seen so both area's decode are or'd together so when the code references in first 8 bytes jumps to the code base it goes there with no issue at either memory location. Nice job Exxos! :) :)
We when my 245's arrive I'll be on the IDE.. :excited: :excited: :excited:

Using the HDDriver exxos recommended it saw the IDE and the ASCI buses and sees two devices under the IDE but both with garbage names.
