Hi aitotat,
I built the r485 binanries.
I saw that the XTP version should work with NEC V20/V30. Since I have installed a V20 im my Commodore PC, I first tried the XTPL version, but it didn't work. The machine hung up during boot at the moment the IDE_XT BIOS should have been initialized.
So I then tried the plain XT version, which semms to work at first.
The XTIDE BIOS shows up with:
Code:
Master at 1F0h:
Slave at 1F0h: not found
Booting C>C
Boot sector not found
Booting A>A
Booting MS-DOS 6.22 from disk A: works. Next thing I tried was creating a DOS partiton using fdisk.
Looked good ... until reboot. The XTIDE BIOS again found no boot sector.
I took a look with fdisk ... no partitions defined.
Tried fdisk /mbr ... no boot sector found.
I also tried booting MS-DOS 3.20 and creating a partition with fdisk ... same result.
biosdrvs shows no name for the drive and after listing CHS data it ends up with:
EBIOS information from AH=48h...
BIOS returned error code 1h
any hints ?
