ST536 and diagnostic cartridge issue ?

[exxos]

Is anyone able to test either a TF536, ST536, STE536 with the STE diagnostic cart ?

I thought it worked, but on my STE, it seems to lock up just before it gets to the menu.

Code: Select all

I6 Checking exception handling...


I7 Bus error not detected

I tried the Falcon diagnostic cartridge as well..

Code: Select all

Checking Bus error handlingI7 Bus error not detected

E9 Bad instruction fetch

I'm not totally sure if the Falcon diagnostic cartridge even work on a STE properly. But maybe someone can also confirm that..

Looking around it seems to be mentioned before as well viewtopic.php?t=4582

At this point I just assume the diagnostic cartridge is simply not 030 compatible..

I'm building a Sidecart today or tomorrow and should be able to test later this week.

Yes and you can not use the Falcon or Atari TT Cart ROMs ...


The sources for the Falcon cartridge are on the net, perhaps you can use this as a basis to write your own new one for all ST computers with 020/030 accelerator cards ...?

OK thanks.

That would be useful yes, but beyond my abilities unfortunately.

DIAGROM may work, I have permission to use it for a product, but I always think demand is to little for such a item. It is a free download though. viewtopic.php?f=72&t=1201

In my opinion Diagrom is not a replacement for the Atari Test cartridge ...

That's all there is though unless someone fixes the Atari stuff.
