I need everybody with an XT or XT compatible to run DEBUG and enter the command "d e000:0000" (you may replace e000 with the address to any black holes in your memory map if there are something at e000).
Does it returns 00s or FFs?
I need this information for one of the utilities that scans the memory map to search for suitable settings for our card.

If you can set the address of the card in the bios of the card why do we need the jumpers? Also what happens when the jumper setting does not match the bios setting?
i must have missed something, but where can i download BIOS 0.09?
So I received one of the prototype boards for testing in my assorted Tandy 1000 computers. I installed it in a stock 1000sx with nothing else installed. Got a boot menu. Nice so far. So then I powered off and hooked up a drive. Now I get no boot menu, do detection, nothing.
I plugged it into my PIII DOS machine and get the same results. I'm going to try flashing the bios and checking again. More when I know more. Meetings tonight and tomorrow though and then it's going to be time to get ready for field day.
Yes, I'm sure I plugged the cable in correctly. Even without the cable connected I no longer get a message about detection. I also reflowed all the solder connections so that's not it.
Yes, it was inserted correctly. I also checked and no chips were even warm to the touch. I did notice that the LED just blinks once on power on, although I don't know what it should do. I reseated all the chips and re-flowed all the solder. Still no joy.Did you insert the card the rigth way after you plugged in the drive? One tested has already fried his card by inserting it the wrong way.
It boots as if the card is not in there (to floppy).It might also be that the EEPROM (somehow) went bad, but then you should have gotten a normal boot as if you didn't have the card installed.
I did at first, but not now. I'm going to try to re-flash some time this week, but it's going to be tight. I have 3 meetings in the evenings this week, plus I need to get the computers ready for field day yet, plus there is ARRL field day Friday, Saturday and Sunday.Do you get the menu if the drive is not connected to the card?
