Floppy Drive Manager on the ST with Gotek

Post by paulnott1234 »

Hi,
I'm trying to get a Gotek with HxC firmware running with my Atari ST.

I have brought the firmware up to date with the latest version and installed it.

I downloaded the Floppy Drive Manager for Atari ST, and have run into the following issue;

- the autboot.hfe loads up ,and I can move *.st files into different slots.
- I can then reboot and it loads up the slot with the game

This all works fine, but if I then select slot 00 to get the manager back, it loads but with the 2 or 3 bomb symbols.
The manager is unusable in this stage and I have to re-apply the files to the USB drive.

Any ideas what is going on? I've tried different combinations of jumpers (SD0, MOT on and off - which is correct?)

I've also tried recreating the CFG file with the HxC software - doesn't seem to help.

Cheers,
Paul

This is probably a boot virus present on one of these game image that alter the autoboot.hfe.

Interesting, I hadn't thought of that.

I'll try some different .st files and see if I can get a different result.

Cheers Paul

I've come across the same problem. A shut down, and power fixes the issue.
