ST-IDE-ROM Dev Board v1 - BETA Testers

[PhilC]

Ok, never set an Atari HD up before, hence wanting to cheat but will work it out quick enough :)

ah...

Well you need to get HD10 for starters... https://www.hddriver.net/en/prices.html

Cool, thanks, will get that.

My ROM is flipped now, so just going to be waiting until I have time tomorrow night to do the patches.

Sounds good Phil. Looks like your making good progress.

I just check the rom image with sys info and it shows up @ $e00000 and $fc0000 so it should boot either 1.04 or 2.06 just as designed. Just finished looking through stuff in the shed and no 245's ;) ;) ;) Going to need to wait for the ones I order last night in desperation. Really sucks when ya know you have something and can't find it. You watch when the others get here the ones I have will fall off a shelf and hit me in the head. :crazy: :crazy: Guess I'll go make the 1.04/2.06 eprom.

I bet you find them when you are looking for some 244's and cant find those.

Great progress all three of you. :bravo:

I like the fit of the board in the Mega looks neat - PaulJ

Ya, I've found about 20 244's.. sometimes I just find it unbelievable. .. ;) ;)

The only physical issue is half the center post of the lid is covered but I think half a drill width can take care of that. Looks like it was made for a mega!!

[PaulJ]

Well just made a 1.04/2.06 rom and the mega can boot into either. With both versions I can dump $e00000 and $fc0000 and the same code is seen so both area's decode are or'd together so when the code references in first 8 bytes jumps to the code base it goes there with no issue at either memory location. Nice job Exxos! :) :)

We when my 245's arrive I'll be on the IDE.. :excited: :excited: :excited:

[exxos]

:bravo:

The ROM decoding is the same as used in the v2 series if booster BTW ;)

[PhilC]

So this is as far as I get at the mo,

Using the HDDriver exxos recommended it saw the IDE and the ASCI buses and sees two devices under the IDE but both with garbage names.

And it's fixed, I found a short circuit. #CarryOnAsIfNothingHappened
