Darn - some of us have to work during the lockdown. No spare Atari time for me which I would welcome to take my mind off the madness. Stay safe everyone.

File sent :)

Icky, if your still working it's most likely more appropriate for you to stay safe while were sitting on our butt in the safety of our homes. Shesh even @rubber_jonnie is in the no dumb a$$ zone. Stay safe Icky.

I'm ok @PaulJ.

Fortunately I am working from home but it means the hours are still crazy but am sat on my butt. Its not helpful I have my Atari ST Dev motherboard sat right in front of me now while I am working. Its sooooo tempting to do Atari stuff.

A whole 1K to spare with FC software and 3 ROM images :lol:


Testing programming of the flash banks and seems good so far...

@thorsten.otto With EMUTOS 0.9.12.1 I get this... I am sure it was working before.. but no idea what this error is...

@Icky At least I'm not the only one working from home and surrounded by the retro gear...and therefore temptation!
:pullhair: :cry: :headbang:

All seems to be working so far...

Programed all 4 banks, booted from flash in each one.. "unbrick mode" works.. not checked time and date stuff in the RTC.. but as the NVRAM holds settings for boot ROM anyway.. it seems to be working. So I can select the boot ROM, it resets and boots in that BANK.. Also turning off the ST and back on again, its restoring the selected bank, so all good :thumbup:

Now @Icky to do a video :lol:

Looks good to me @exxos

Talking about getting distracted by Atari stuff, I'm off for three weeks from tomorrow, so hoping that some Atari time will be had in between the long list of jobs the wife has gor me.

So if you need anything breaking then let me know :D
