The CD drive issue will need a new board. I know the issue.. just working through it.

It would help if my card wasnt sulky after the zap. working the problem though. found a few solder issues this morning.

well, then i wiggled TF330 and IDE.....and it booted!!
So yeah! My card is working, it boots even with WB 3.9 and it is quite comfortable to use,
i just need to solve some issues - as it doesn't boot here and there.. Will clean edge connector and swap out IDE cable (this is the same IDE ribbon i used on TF534, got also some issues there - IDE is working slow, maybe it is my flat ribbon in the end!)

Hi Viktor can you say what IDE adapter you used and make of CF card ?
Thanks

Well, all cards i tested so far are working (different types and capacities of SanDisk cards),
even deLock cf2sd adapter (wich is pretty picky need to admit)

the problem is not the card, it is something else..actually have bought three brand new ribbons, but can't find them atm...too much amiga stuff :lol:

EDIT
ok, found new 44pin ribbons, swapped out, also cleaned edge connectors - that didn't solded my issue,
need to bend TF card up as much possible - then card boots..
Well, seems second layer is VCC, if it connects to edge pin into riser - no boot..

I'll post you a new board.

Thank You Stephen... By the way, i noticed some graphical glitches, see last picture on the bottom of the screen..
Pretty sure that's on this particular board only, however Sysinfo says this card has 0KB just like in Your stream...

CD Drive working.. required 2 patch wires.

My RAM Isnt working right now.. i think i cooked something that it needs.. no joy fixing it so moved on and sorted the CD Drive...

Nice Build Viktor
I have had some Cheap Chinese 8gb CFs give the odd graphical glitch on my TF330s , must be the different makes they use but they just put their own normal Label on, so its a lottery really :)
But with the IDE to SD adapter and a Sandisk micro 32gb card it is rock solid with flawless graphics

Great work again Steve :)

This is the drive MOD i had to make... maybe someone can make a better drawing. Let me know if it makes sense first.

Makes perfect sense ,completely self explanatory so no need for another pic :)

My TF330 has also been assembled, just need the firmware now :)
