Re: ST-IDE-ROM Dev Board v1 - BETA Testers
Hmm, driver wouldn't install on the 128MB drive, but it did partition the drive in 4x32Mb slices, and on booting from my AHDI floppy to TOS 2.06, I get drive C added automatically, and I can add the remaining 3 partitions by using 'Add Devices'.
That's all a win to me.

Nice job Jon!! Guess I'll have to get in gear and figure out why mine acts like a rock..
Re: ST-IDE-ROM Dev Board v1 - BETA Testers
Ok, found it.. as a last resort I took out the plcc and using a steel rule aligned any pins that were at all suspect... put it back in and tried again. Presto!!!! it works, I've been over the board so much I couldn't believe it didn't do anything but a ROCK imitation. So there is now JOY in mudville!!!

Glad you found the issue PaulJ. Great job
Now the testing begins. What can you throw at this board and see if you can find any issues.

Well done and welcome to the world of IDE
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

My PLCC socket for the ROM has been a bit iffy, but a few tweaks as per my how to and all is well
You can find it here: https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... hilit=plcc
Next job is to get it to boot, and to try a few other devices.

Re: ST-IDE-ROM Dev Board v1 - BETA Testers
One question.
Are the select 1 and select 2 jumpers going to have a use going forward?
If not, is it feasible to remove the jumpers and simply replace them with the resistor/capacitor combo?
Mine look like a half dead xmas tree, so I want to tidy things up!
If not, I think I will move them to the underside of the board.

The caps and resisitos can be hardwired to the PCB.
