After an awesome holiday, and a few hectic weeks at work, I finally got time to start up the ST again
So I built a temporary contraption to byteswap the IDE interface on the TF536 and my old CF card booted straight up
I'm not going to bother with the floppy drive.. it apparently didn't work all that well in my machine with TF534 either. I never use it so it's a none-issue for me.
EmuTOS 1.0 + NVDI 2.51 or 5.03 runs nice and fast executing from Fastram.
Now that my HDD is working I tried out Devpac3, Atari Works and my ScummVM port and they also run great from Fastram.
Gembench and Frontier still have the problem with resetting the machine as soon as they start executing from Fastram but they work when running from ST RAM - basically same issue as before vacation when I tried these from floppy.
A bit odd.. maybe related to the ram detection issue? If for some reason they access the top of the memory, but seems like a long shot. I figure I'll make an EmuTOS build which is limited to 64MB fastram and see if it helps.
I should also probably catch up with the forum about what's been happening in the last month or so
