Re: Falcon + CUBASE AUDIO + SCSI - Experiences?
Does anyone in the UK have a Falcon test hardness for DSP testing myself badwolf could borrow for a bit ?

I may be wrong but if the diag cart doesn't use handshaked i/o with the DSP, a 50 MHz 030 can shake its tests quite a lot.whomper wrote: 24 Sep 2025 15:46Without DFB1X everything passes, with it I get these messages on a few runs.
Unless @Badwolf had this test running during his DFB1 development, of course.

I assumed it would need the full test harness as well, but no idea..

OPTION jumper would help as it limits the CPU to 16MHz...mikro wrote: 25 Sep 2025 15:42I may be wrong but if the diag cart doesn't use handshaked i/o with the DSP, a 50 MHz 030 can shake its tests quite a lot.whomper wrote: 24 Sep 2025 15:46Without DFB1X everything passes, with it I get these messages on a few runs.

Re: Falcon + CUBASE AUDIO + SCSI - Experiences?
No, I didn't test it but I did see similar failures at OPTION1 speeds. Assumed entirely because test harness missing, but now I'm not so sure and will probably look into this further after CL4.exxos wrote: 25 Sep 2025 15:48OPTION jumper would help as it limits the CPU to 16MHz...mikro wrote: 25 Sep 2025 15:42 I may be wrong but if the diag cart doesn't use handshaked i/o with the DSP, a 50 MHz 030 can shake its tests quite a lot.

The DSP bit looks like it just needs the plug wiring. I don't know how easy it is to lay hands on that sort of plug, but if push comes to shove I may try to make one with 3d printing and some solid core wire.

This is what I have. Seems like a DIY plug based on previously linked wiring guide. Not sure why bother with hot glue.... Its not like there's deep IP there

Looks like china still sell them..
Meanwhile in the uk... I'm tempted to go for this if it's the right connector...

Edit:
Found a bit cheaper seller and bought one. Hopefully it will fit. :)

Can you publish the song somewhere so we can try it on more setups?whomper wrote: 18 Sep 2025 18:54I can send you my audio tracks so that you can replay it exactly. the bluescsi used an interesting images concept where you create 1GB images and then bluescsi reports it as separate drives to HDDriver.
Also, how Cubase enforces this SCSI requirement? You really can't just open a song from an IDE disk? (sorry, a total Cubase newbie here)
Btw thanks to this investigation I have just found out that SCSI on my CT2 Falcon is totally broken. Cool.
