Re: Address error on ST diagnostic cart ?
I've seen this sort of thing when the diag cart is set to the wrong machine type, might be worth a check.

You can not use the Atari cart diagnostic if the machine is not original (CPU, TOS etc.) ...

I think given what Frank said, Diagrom is going to be a better option.exxos wrote: Mon Feb 01, 2021 12:25 amIts a TF536 on a H4 , so not sure what the machine type actually isrubber_jonnie wrote: Sun Jan 31, 2021 11:49 pm I've seen this sort of thing when the diag cart is set to the wrong machine type, might be worth a check.in TOS206 it hangs just after the Fuji, I think its relating to the floppy drive as it doesn't seem to do its normal reset chug ... Its why I booted the diagnostic cart to see what it said... I might try digrom tomorrow see what that makes of it.. Oddly I can run YAART from cartridge..and all is fine... So its really working out why its getting stuck at the point it does currently...
