Ensoniq Mirage Help Please!

[5c4r7]

I have an Ensoniq Mirage Rack and I am using the external black cased Rev C HXC. I have a 1 GB card and I have managed to create an image using Omniflop. I have created the config file and copied both the image and config file to my SD card. When I boot the mirage the HXC powers up, I can select the Mirage floppy image on the HXC but I then get a UD error on the Mirage and RA and WR flash on the HXC LCD screen. I am testing with the Mirage floppy images that Jeff posted in a previous thread:

And getting the same error. I am using a twisted floppy cable. The jumper is set to ID0 / Drive A. I posted a video demonstrating my issue:

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

The floppy cable is reversed...
Reverse it on the ensoniq motherboard and on the HxC, this should be better.

Hey Jeff,

I did that already. When I do that, the Mirage does nothing but freeze up with 2 lines on it's display. Reversing it this way was the only way I could get the Mirage to do anything.

In this case reverse the floppy cable + change the jumper setting.

The floppy cable red wire must be on the right of the floppy emulator's connector.
Don't forget to reverse it into the ensoniq too.

ok, I will. Sorry, just to clarify, the jumper should be set to Drive ID0 / B ?

Thanks for all your help Jeff!

No. Drive ID0 / A.

Ahh yes. I was referring to that. As you can see in my previous post, my jumper is currently set to Drive ID0 / A. When you told me to change my jumper settings it confused me.

Thanks again,

Jeff, you rock! My Mirage is booting and loading just fine now. Thanks so much for all your help!

In this case replace the "error" video on youtube by a "working" one.

[5c4r7]

Haha. already done man. My iPhone is just being stupid and not uploading the video for some reason. I'll post the link once I get the new video up.

ok but the "error" video still there! ?

Sorry, I did try to delete it previously but I guess it didn't take effect. It should be gone now.
