[Jeff]

2GB SDCARD brand "ELITE PRO"

Can you try another brand ?

[sixty_cel]

I. think. Just. Not up to another brand I. try. Kingston. and same result because when I

Operate by old version It is working fine why up to brand. I'm sold to many customer and

when. I up new firmware mean change new brand of sdcard oh !! No good.

Sorry. For. My bad English But I sold to my customer about 12set .

[Jeff]

I don't understand : is it working with the Kingston or not ?

Question : You said rev C, but where did you buyed the board ? This was Kit version ?
Did you see a "SRAM test failed" message at power up?

[sixty_cel]

No It's not work by Kingston brand.

I buy from lotharek Poland .

Yes after update firmware and reboot I see that message.

What does It mean?

I'm in Thailand and ever buy 5 set of plane kit last year and recently buy 5 set of plane kit

again 5 set and 2 set of slim board 2 set of slim with black case .

Next order 10 set of slim set because I like the size of it .

And like the cost too.

Sorry for my bad English again.

So we have found cause the issue : The firmware 1.8.x.x and up need the external SRAM 23K256 for the write support.
Lotharek mount them since 2010 with the Rev C.
If you don't have it mounted on your board, please consider them as Rev B boards.

13 August 2013: Firmware SD HxCFloppyEmulator v1.8.2.24

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Important !! : This version is not compatible with the old Revision B boards (2010 version)
-- The add-on SRAM chip is now needed for all write support ! (for more details please see the release 22/08/2010 below)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So for the Rev B version (or Rev C without the 23K256 SRAM), you should use the firmware v1.7.2.0.

Slim boards have this external SRAM since the beginning.

Sorry for my bad English again.

No problem, mine is far to be perfect too

[sixty_cel]

Oh yes I'm all understand . It's my mistake that is not read all of firmware note.

Hehehe thank you so much.
