If you don't get any better offers, I can do these for you. But they would be in purple, which probably isn't going to be a good look. I've never tried painting PLA but you might be able to get a suitable finish that way, Cheers, Phil Young Hi All I'm looking for someone to print the front & bac...
All very odd, but that makes 3 different reports of BeebSCSI not being 100% happy with the Master 512. I wonder what it all means. I had problems with a Master 512 and a BeebSCSI mini if that counts. Worked perfectly for normal ADFS use. I could create a 'C' drive (having booted DOS plus from flopp...
I'm about to start gently hacking at my Master motherboard to try and remove the g65sc12 as I want to have it socketed. I decided to look for a spare just in case - the cheapest is a "littlediode" ebay job at £30 with no picture - are they really that uobtainable? Available at $7 apparent...
I don't think I'll ever be in a position to use this, but out of interest for a BeebSCSI(mini) doesn't a scsix.dat file need an associated scsix.dsc file to describe the disk geometry that the dat file is an image of ? Or is it now implicit (I haven't used my BeebScsi mini in a while so I could be ...
The end result is a scsi0.dat image that contains everything you need, including the L3 File Server itself: https://www.dropbox.com/s/w3q8rcx2e8rkma0/scsi0.dat.zip?dl=0 Hi, I don't think I'll ever be in a position to use this, but out of interest for a BeebSCSI(mini) doesn't a scsix.dat file need a...
Hi, I forgot to say, it was a model A (mostly upgraded now) but originally came with OS 0.1 on the four eproms, so there were no slots free to install additional ROMs in any case. Cheers, Phil Young Thanks for the various replies, particularly noting that the diodes went missing long before the serv...
Thanks for the various replies, particularly noting that the diodes went missing long before the service manual suggested. It seems their function is as mysterious as the /SO pin that they're connected to. I don't suppose any owners of an Issue 2 board would care to open 'er up and look to see if t...
Thanks Dave, I'll give that a go. I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 (64 bits). I'm running the Xilinx ISE (a slightly earlier version) on Slackware 14.1 64bit (quite old now) without problems using the clone xilinx usb platform cable that Hoglet originally suggested. I just downloaded the linux version of the we...
[I'd probably intend to get or build one of these eventually, my HDMI monitor (which is a repurposed laptop LCD) is 1280x800 which is a resolution that hasn't been mentioned yet. Do you forsee any problems with that - it works fine with a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian. 1280x800 is slightly problema...
Here's a quick question for anyone getting an RGBtoHDMI in the hear future..... Can you tell me what the "native" resolution of your HDMI monitor is? I just want to check these resolutions work, and head off any possible issues with certain resolutions that are difficult to make good use ...
Hi, Hi Phil & Rob, thanks for the replies and suggestions/offer, I followed your suggestion Phil and downloaded the images and managed to get them on to 3.5" floppies, and DOS Plus installed first time. Thanks for your offer Rob, but I think got it working now. Thanks for the help IanC I'm ...
Hi, I had similar problems with a Master 512/Datacentre/CF card combination. I tired a few different CF cards thinking that that was the problem, but with no success. After many attempts using two sets of the original floppies, I realised that these were both DR-DOS v1.2. I downloaded the later DR-D...
Thanks for the photo. Interesting that it's a AMD processor rather than an Intel one. Let me know if you would like any further tests run (or rerun) The tests you ran were exhaustive in that they test every possible combination of inputs (1024 combinations). So we shouldn't need any more for DAA an...
Thanks Phil. Those results are very interesting, as they actually differ in some cases from the behaviour with current Intel processors. We'll probably continue the analysis in the github issue: https://github.com/hoglet67/PiTubeDirect/issues/42 Many thanks for taking the time to do this. Is there ...
I still thing the gold reference would be the results from a real 186 Co Pro if someone can help. Dave OK, here are my results from a real 186 Co Pro (after a bit of an epic session with the DataCentre) results_real_80186.zip If you need any more let me know, I think I'm all set up for it at the mo...
Phil, did you get anywhere with finding out the circuit of the internal copro, or with debugging or repairing yours? We have a broken one here... No, sorry, no progress with that. If the point is the co-pro rather than the repair, it's probably best to look at the John Kortink plug-in recent versio...
Hi Guys, It anyone with an Altera DE1 want to give this a go, let me know and I'll flesh out some more details on: - building the AtomFpga .sof file - programming the SchakelKaart firmware image into DE1 FLASH (at 0x100000) - installing the SDDOS version of the Atom Software Archive onto SD Card Da...
I've had no problems using ISE 14.something with the parallel programmer - albeit for the GODIL rather than the matchbox co-pro. I think 'unsupported' here means 'if it doesn't work we don't care' rather than 'removed', so it should be OK. That's interesting.... And your cable is definitely a "...
I think you need a much older version of the Xilinx tools - ISE 10.1 if I remember correctly - to support the Parallel Cable. But support for the Spartan-6 family (used by the Matchbox LX9) only came in with ISE 11.1. It's just possible, if you only want to use the programmer, that it would work, b...
^cheers, but can't replicate that, as just tried *CWD AS , *CAT still same, even back to root.. also just noticed, it now just hangs with my other known working 2GB cards, ie they worked fine before I started all this #-o I get Error 38 (sometimes 102) & hangs. A few breaks / escape combination...
but, *CAT / *. still just hangs :shock: , and */MENU still works, so can still play beeb MIA Early Warning game :P so, must be the AtoMMC2 rom needing updated to >v2.96E :-k (which again, I don't have programmer for :( ) Thanks again folks :wink: Hi, I think when I had the "hanging on *CAT&quo...
Anyone know any more about this problem? Dave I'll see if I can find the reference, it was on here somewhere..... Cheers, Phil Young It was discussed here . Stephen mentioned he got it to work, I could not. Duikkie changed Smart SPI to make it work with Econet. See discussion here . MMFS works fine...
Also, I gather that the IFEL Turbo MMC ROM has some sort of incompatability with Econet but I've not been able to discover in what way exactly. Does the MMFS version have the same problem ? Anyone know any more about this problem? Dave I'll see if I can find the reference, it was on here somewhere....
