I am either really dumb or just have some bad luck. I aquired and XT-IDE Rev 4 board with most of the components to build it. And any components that were missing I used from my parts bin.
Ok 1st problem using XT-IDE version 2.0.0B3 I set up the mostly default configurations and try to flash EEPROM. I get a timeout error. Than I change the SPD to disable and than i get a different
error goes along the line of What was written does not match what was read.
2nd I am doing this on a Compaq Portable with the C ROM. So I make a couple more changes that I get it to write the EEPROM. When booting up to a CF card a Sandisk 32MB version. I get Command
interpreter is bad or missing. Press any key to continue. So I press the enter button it access's the A: floppy which then then times out after a few seconds and computer is just sitting there locked up. This baffles me. I can't boot from A even when holding down the A key at startup. I need the A: drive working to do a SYS command to the CF. Any hints suggestions welcome.
