Hi we are Jeff,

Is the LCD screen supposed to say AUTOBOOT.HFE at boot up?

Regards

Marc

The files on the SD card, are from the HXC2001 Headquarters,
on the card are the Atari ST HXCDFE.CFG, copied first, then the
AUTOBOOT.HFE files, specifically from the Atari ST folder, in the HXC
Floppy Emulator Manager folder.

Thankyou

Marc

Floppy extension plugged in the opposite way, red marker to the left,
tried plugging in extension both ways at either ends, still getting the same issue.

Is the floppy LED access light supposed to be on all the time?

Regards

the situation is the same : "RA" and "S:1" and the select led permanently on.
You need to invert only one end of the floppy ribbon.

It is only inverted on one end of the floppy extension?

Might be worth attaching the Rev C to the computers original ribbon, exclude the floppy extension, work back, sure that will show if theres a fault with the Rev C board?
