Re: A X68000 arrived

Got it! after *alot* of messing about i got the 2 Gotek setup to work. Setup completely different from @Higgy but his hints helped me solve it.

Re: A X68000 arrived

The multicolour cable, does that have 2x 3.5" plugs at the other end? And with no twists? If so you just need my DIY cable and a 2nd Gotek off eBay, ideally one with a OLED screen. I can see about making some longer simple DIY cables, I will check if I have any 34 pin box connectors left. Sorti...

Re: A X68000 arrived

So lower plug goes to Motherboard. Middle to physical drives (so has 2 plugs), then top multicoloured to Gotek (also 2 plugs). Oh are you also using 2 Goteks? I've tried every permutation. Always the same issue. Is there no vaguely off the shelf solution for these cables? I'm allergic to this stuff...

Re: A X68000 arrived

I think I found a completed listing for that fdd emulator, only had Google cached image so can't see clearly, but the advert text is here: https://yahoo.aleado.com/lot?auctionID=b311774311 Translation is not good but I think it is saying it should work but not tested with a Pro. Also can you get 2 G...

Re: A X68000 arrived

I don't know that unit, but I see it has a Jumper 'Open for Internal' and does not look to have buttons to inject Disk Ready and Power Eject signals. Feels like your Internal physical drives Jumpers should be 0 and 1. Then that will match the Goteks and the adaptor. I'm assuming your also powering t...

Re: A X68000 arrived

Also try this disk 'Flying Shark' - I can't see any black&white 'OS' text when it loads, so I wonder if this also bypasses reading the SRAM config or some other OS. Flying shark.zip (and it's a great game :lol: ) No joy there. Same error. Guess anything that uses the OS for disk access is not h...

Re: A X68000 arrived

terriblefire ok, that is great Motos ran. So you have controls, gfx and sound (I guess). Pointing to a good system. It's sounding so similar to my issue. I would go for a SRAM replacement. If you don't have the chips from your arcades it's £10 from that UK eBay seller I mentioned. I saw that Bus me...

Re: A X68000 arrived

terriblefire - interesting I forgot to place a physical disk in my drive and 'Motos' works. But 'Masterdisk V2' and the SRAM's don't. The drive starts working and then it hangs. So I would think is there is something up with the Floppy Drive Ready or Disk Inserted signal (again sorry I can't rememb...
