@terriblefire i think that's probably for the best as making a twisted ide cable is simple enough, so that should get Tos2.06 working and as you know, EmuTOS Don't care either way.

Can you please post which firmware you consider to be optimal at the mo :D

Try this for now.
EDIT: where can i get a crossover ide cable?

@terriblefire probably got to make one? Not tried it myself yet.

Im not a fan of making cables. :/

@terriblefire looks great to me. I'll verify later on as well.

Just flashed the board ive built for @tony.reynolds with the latest Alpha firmware and @terriblefire 1gb CF image using an untwisted cable the TF536 boots nice and quick to desktop.

Just putting the board through its paces again with a couple of hours of frontier before I pack and post it.

Has anyone tested this with tos2.06 and a twisted cable yet?

With Twisted cable, HDD will post in Emutos and TOS 2.06 running HD Driver from disk, but will not auto boot in either one. Tos 2.06 will crash with INT tethered to INT of the ASCI port. Good news Successfully formatted and partitioned and 8 gig and 32 gig CF card in both TOS and Emutos.

Only issue I came across was that I had floppy read errors but I need to verify this as it was just a quick try of the floppy after a successful test of the TF536 otherwise.

INT cable is not needed.
