OS 3.2 and TF1260 as the only IDE controller
Posted: 08 Feb 2024 00:46
Greetings!
Got myself a TF1260, and I have patched my 3.2 ROM to include ehide.device v1.2 (and it works by itself - yes, I checked). But I've ran into an issue, that Amiga won't boot at all, if nothing is on the onboard IDE channel. This issue is described here https://alen.dreamhosters.com/tf1260.html

I have this (board serial 68090) firmware installed, and looks like the workaround isn't there :( How can this be addressed?The recently released Amiga OS3.2 has a minor bug regarding the handling of the CPU cache at boot. The result is that if the TF1260 is plugged in without a hard drive/CF card present in the IDE port, the floppy boot screen animation never appears and the machine is permanently stuck on a black screen. The machine however boots normally when a HD/CF card is present.
A workaround for this bug has been implemented in the firmware of cards with serial numbers 2065 and above. Earlier cards can also be updated to avoid this.
