I've seen this sort of thing when the diag cart is set to the wrong machine type, might be worth a check.

Its a TF536 on a H4 , so not sure what the machine type actually is :lol: 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...

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.
