  • Workbench 1.3 format tool?

    Did some more test today. First I played a bit with Sysinfo and found that with KS1.3 not all card are detected, the last Zorro slots are not working/detected. This A2000 has A2090, Buddha, XSurf100, RAM card and a GBAPII++. Buddha was in the last slot.


    After taking apart the card and reseat them one by one I found that the Xsurf 100 stops KS1.3 from read the next slots from it is seated. Unfortunatelly the XSurf colides with the ISA slots so I can't move it to the last slot. As I received a BigRam 2630 this week I put the Buddha in the place of the RAM card and now I have all the compatible KS1.3 cards working (SCSI+Buddha).


    HDInst worked well but now my prolems are the 'Validation errors' but this can be caused by the combinaton of ide-to-cf-to-sd combinations.


    Anyway I will prepare the package tomorrow because I want to test with your installer.

    Thank you for your fast reply!

  • Workbench 1.3 format tool?

    Hi,

    this last weekend I destroyed the partitons in the DOM that came with my Buddha. Is there any tool available to format a new hard disk in WB 1.3? WB 3.1 and upwards are working OK with HDToolbox but I can't make a working partition for WB 1.3.


    BTW I want to send the DOM to IComp to reflash as I also have an ACA 1233n I bought second hand that I want to upgrade to IDESpeeder. Can I send all?

  • Buddha not Booting

    Hi,

    after some weeks shutdown today I powered on the machine... and it doesn't boot.


    I re-flashed and now all is working normally so I think that this card needs a new flash chip...


    Can I use any 28C256 PLCC available? or must be the same model CSI CAT28C256? I can find fast another vendors chip.


    Thanks!!

  • Buddha not Booting

    Well, today arrived at home a bit earlier than expected ;D


    So time to create a floppy with the flash utility of the wiki. The flashing process went smoothly:

    And after the reboot the supplied DOM started to boot!!!

    My idea is to install WB3.1 in a 32GB SDD but for the test I used a compact flash adapter I have used in a ZX Spectrum before . It has an small cable to get the power from the controller card. It worked well with 128MB CF and a 512MB microSD with SD adapter plus a SD2CF adapter.

    I tested various DOM and CF adapters but no luck. Tomorrow I will test with the SSD.


    This is a V6.2 motherboard with this power supply:

    Quote from Jens

    It was a simple re-flash and the card works again. There's a second case like this, and that other Buddha is here already for the second time. THe solution is - again - just to re-flash the card.


    I'd like to investigate this further - can you remember if it worked for some time and then didn't? Or maybe only stopped working after you've put it into a special model? Can you list the exact power supply types that are in your A2000s? Maybe take pictures of the labels?

    Hi, I'm having the same problem here. No detecting any device CF, HDD nor the included DOM. The Hdd led never flashes even connected to channel one or channel two. Received at the start of the month and never worked but I don't have any other Zorro card to test. The card is detected on boot menu and in Sysinfo.


    Is the flash procedure the same as described in the wiki? Or this flash procedure must be done in your workshop?


    Thank you,
