A new tfdisk.adf and a tiny firmware change...

If all three of these tests pass then there is nothing wrong with your hardware.

Unless you post pictures of the output of the three programs (testideint, testint2, testipl - with the jed supplied flashed in the cpld) as well as a photo of the bottom of your board and a picture of drive speed from sysinfo i will give no further help. I've spent 2 full days coding up this and frankly it feels like you want me to diagnose your board using the force or something. You seem to feel insulted that i want information...

We've had very little feedback from our requests for information and what feedback there has been has been completely disorganised and impossible to follow.

Version of the ADF to check the loaded firmware is correct.

Just saying things worked is not acceptable. Give us the information we asked for or stop asking for help.

You didnt buy a product that comes with a warranty. You soldered it... its your problem. Throw it away and leave us alone if you dont like it.

For clarity:

Mario_PL has been given a two week ban for Abusive behaviour via Private Messaging.

He was previously warned on July 7th at 3:17pm by personal message from myself, which he had viewed and not replied to.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

I've dug around the Amiga scene and asked a few contacts and well.. I dont think there was ever anything wrong with this guys board. He was just looking for a freebie. This is why he never wanted to ask in public, never showed any evidence of an actual problem, refused to show the screenshots requested.. deleted his screenshots (dont worry they're restored) I would think twice before selling this guy anything.

I will add a suitable hashtag to the TF1260 to warn people about this guy..
