Just and update: still not working, might be more to this than originally thought. So just a reminder my specific case is: TF534 in an A500 Rev 6, 1MB chip, A570 CD-ROM drive. There are a lot of similarities to the CDTV but there are differences too. FIRST ISSUE: Black Screen when TF534 connected ED...

Cool - yep I remember a while ago running your make file and it worked well. I'll give it another test (wasn't sure if it was still maintained)!

Prefixing this with the fact I know the TF530 is long "dead" support-wise , but I had left-over parts (i.e. 4 SRAM chips) and thought "what the hell" :) This is more to document bits of info I've found about the place and my experience testing. Anyway, as far as I can tell, firmware "status" is as ...

Cool - yeah it's on my todo list but life has got in the way of progress at the moment.

So rebuild cdtv.d...

Yep, count me in for test building one 536, knowing no support etc....

For some reason the IO requests just lock up between reads. I guess i'm missing some step.

Only did the bare minimum to get it to work for me (tm):

EDIT: only tested in winuae, build with:
vc -c99 +aos68k -I$NDK_INC -o testdisk testdisk.c -lamiga -lmieee

Seriously cool! I can't believe you spent your vacation time doing this

Totally get that - what's the build environment? Linux? Would you be happy with a quick and dirty awk or perl or python script that translates it? I'll whip something up...

Nice work! I did manage to umm do the opposite - compile cdtv.device from let's call it "commonly available" sources... they look to be from a newer version of the driver aimed at the cdtv-cr. Anyway, I changed it to use MEMF_24BITDMA mem instead of MEMF_PUBLIC but I guess chip would work too (I was...

So with the IDE2SD adaptor (specifically this) and a 4GB SD card, I get a consistent 2.1MB/sec with both partitions without fastrom. With fastrom, ~5MB/sec (and no dodgy overflows in sysinfo).

So something funky with either the V.H2 adaptor or my all of my CF cards.
