Have REV. C pcb. Cannot write?

Post by Thrash911 »

Hello,

Thanks for the great hardware! :)

A long time ago I bought the SDCard Hxc Floppy Emulator. Probably around 2011. All reading is good, but I cannot get my Amiga 500 to write to disk images?

I have:

PCB REV C. 100910
Newest Floppy Manager (v1.30a)
Newest Software for Mac (v2.1.4.0)
Newest Firmware (v1.8.2.40)

To test, I did the following:

Created .HFE versions of Workbench and Extras v1.3.3. Created an empty 880KB AmigaDOS floppy. Booted up Workbench. Inserted Extras. Click Extras, and chose "Duplicate" in the menu. The very basic way.. :) Used the empty Amiga disk as destination. It seems to write, but the verification step fails. So I guess it really did not write..

I keep reading, that REV. C of the PCB supports Amiga Write. So why can't I get it to work? Hope someone can shed some light on this.

Hello again,

Okay.. I decided to try something else. So I have been playing a little F/A-18 Interceptor. This game saves your mission progress to disk. And.. It's working. :shock: So write works. But in some situations it does work, and in others it does not.

What are the write limitations?

If you want to duplicate a disk, please use XCopy TNG with the verification set to on.
