Have you any other way of getting SSDs to your Electron (i.e. not the slogger) I suspect that there is a clash somewhere with that?
In the meantime here's another version - this time it won't play a tune but hopefully should show the scroller and a whole bunch of 0's - this to rule out an address clash with the SID/SLOGGER
Yay, my Elk is singing away happily in the background
I had forgotten that I had a GOSDC stashed away. I have always been the traditional type and like the clunk and whirring of a proper disk drive.
Anyhow loaded the test SSDs onto the SDC card and powered up with the GOSDC and apart from the odd song, they play all the way through.
Thank you so much Dominic for persevering, it is much appreciated.

No Electron but MAME can emulate this setup. With Plus1, AP5, BeebSID, and SEDFS I get the freeze after a few seconds with both the original and scroller only orcanpeet.ssd. Replacing the SEDFS with a Pegasus400 works perfectly.
My only thought is that SEDFS will be generating IRQ's for the RTC.
I had forgotten that the Slogger SEDFS interface had an RTC, I whipped the battery out of it a few years ago as it had started to corrode and hadn't bothered replacing it as I never used the clock features. So you think that might be the problem? I might have to have a word with DaveH to see if he still has any Slogger Pegasus disk interfaces left
Thanks again guys (and thanks DaveH for the AP5). Its been quite rewarding building the BeebSID then icing on the cake, making it work on my beloved Electron.
