Okay I have been playing with my 2 new CFFA cards for 2 days now.. So far I have tried the following with the following results.
All configs used a SanDisk 32meg CF
Both CFFA cards were tried in each test with the same results. 4 meg Pacemark Simm style memory board with 4 megs 70ns ram. No other cards installed and all options set to defaults except for slot bootup etc.
ROM 03 - Works GREAT in every slot first time every time.
Rom 01 - IIE to IIGS Upgrade Motherboard with socketed VGC and keyboard socket with old style PS connector - Crashes to Monitor or refuses to see the CF at all
Rom 01 - IIGS early production Motherboard with soldered on VGC and keyboard socket with old style PS connector - Crashes to Monitor or refuses to see the CF at all
Rom 01 - Standard Stock Motherboard - Same as above (Notice a trend)
Rom 01 - With Zip 8/16 - Same as above but if CFFA is in slot 1 or slot 2 it will boot the CF but there is video memory corruption visible on the screen
Rom 01 - With TWGS 10mhz/32K or 8mhz/8k- Same results as ZIP
Rom 03 - With TWGS or ZIP installed - Worked the first time and every time in all the slots tried...
So it looks like this version of the ROM pretty much supports the ROM 03 but is REALLY REALLY touchy if it works at all in a Rom 01 machine...
Any ideas on this?? I have 11 IIGS's of the various vintages so I can test almost anything you want me to...
Would love to get this working in my IIe upgraded to the IIGS but it is a Rom 01...
