A Guy over on A1k has done a nice ehide.exe patch to use in Windows, to use it you will need the Original Hi and Lo files found on the genuine OS 3.2 CD

Just create a new folder put the A1200 Hi and Lo files in there, then run the AOS23EHIDE_patcher.exe, navigate to the file folder and it will add the ehide.device to the ROMs
You still need to `Byteswap` both files before burning to eproms

Link to EXE below, it's in German but I'm sure you will work it out :D

Are you sure?
These files on the original CD have the extension * .bin and can be loaded by the programmer directly into the EPROM.

In fact, after applying the patch, the files need to be byteswap again. As if this patch reverses the previous byteswap

Testing this now, will report back

I put the a1200 47.96 hi and lo .bin file is a folder, patched them.

burnt them without byte swapping them in the tl866, no boot.
byteswapped them then programmed a second set of 27c400's still no boot.
Perhaps I missed a step with the patcher, will give it another go once the eproms come out the washer.

Edit

Yes this works with the byte swapped roms, ehide.device v1.1 is present.

So take kicka1200-lo.bin and kicka1200-hi.bin from the CD, drop them in a folder, patch them with the patch utility.
then byte swap the patched kicka1200-lo-bin and kicka1200-hi.bin and program to 27c400.

Hi.

First of all many thanks for releasing this great work!

I am little confused about the resistor networks listed in the files.

A.) In "tf1260_bottom_bom.csv" RN1 and RN4 are listed as 10K, whereas "tf1260_full_bom.csv" says it's 2K2. Which one is correct?
B.) And just to clarify, RN2 on top side is indeed 2K2, correct?

Thank you.

They are 10k

They're supposed to be 2K2s. I'm sure i've ordered them with those before.. But honestly the lines they're pulling up ... it wont make much diff.

Thanks for the clarifications!

Good morning lads,
finally assembled one, unfortunately it doesn't work. All I have - is short IDE light blinking before it stucks. Both CPLDs swapped out already, triple checked all ics under the scope-can't find anything that can cause problems:


Second card was built by another user, he is getting same results.... I know there will be no support, all I need to hear is something like "have built one, works fine" that would give me hope that the PCBs are fine...

are you using a blue/white cheap chinese cf card ? as some of these are iffy with the TF1260 so use a qualty cf.

I take you checked that there is 3.3v from the volt reg
