Yes, your most correct about the Lightning ST with its forever home in my mega. I was a little surprised when EmuTOS booted to HD with the Lightning's IDE interface. Wasn't aware it was a part of the image but a pleasant surprise.

Re: Projects and Stuff
@PaulJ can you confirm which version of EmuTOS you were using 192k or 256k.
Re: Projects and Stuff
@Icky Its 9.12 256k.
Re: Projects and Stuff
Thanks @PaulJ. The IDE DEV V1.1 is still a dev board as we have been concentrating on Trudie V5 for IDE so it hasn't been tested with EmuTOS and built to support it.
Re: Projects and Stuff
Ya, I didn't even realize EmuTOS had its own IDE driver which by the way is a 1300 kb instead of the 1450 kb with HDDriver. I discovered it using the eprom emulator in the MEGA with the Lightning card. I went to use HDDrivers util program and it said you need to load the driver. Figured it out after a little investigation. I do like the font EmuTOS uses. I like the new IDE board.. can put the eprom emulator in the CPU socket on the board which makes a nice short run for the EPROM decode signal. In general I usually run with TOS 2.06 and HDDriver.
Re: Projects and Stuff
I've not used EMUTOS much. I don't think anyone tested EMUTOS built in IDE driver on the V1 boards. Though There shouldn't be any reason for it not to work with EMUTOS. I decode the IDE address range as normal and of course works with HD11 etc. So maybe its a bug in EMUTOS ? @thorsten.otto ?

Re: Projects and Stuff
I didn't even know it had its own driver until I ran EmuTOS with the Lightning. It does work good with the Lightning. As I said I usually run 2.06 and HDDriver 11.0 which is quite happy with the IDE 1.1 board. I can see myself switching to EnuTOS, really prefer the font it uses and it appears to have quite a bit of stuff built in. I like the shell that is a part of the 256k version.exxos wrote: ↑Thu Mar 26, 2020 1:58 pm I've not used EMUTOS much. I don't think anyone tested EMUTOS built in IDE driver on the V1 boards.

Re: Projects and Stuff
@Icky , I was reading some compact flash cards from when we were working on the initial IDE board and EmuTOS was able to read it. So it appears it may not be a hardware issue but a compact flash card formatting issue.
Re: Projects and Stuff
Hi PaulJ - so to confirm you have booted a different CF under EmuTOS using the builtin EmuTOS driver?
