Title: Floppy controller chip? Post by: vavido on January 27, 2016, 03:33:11 PM Hi Emulator guys!
I have a really nice emulator II+ HD, with only problem, it will not boot. I have installed the Hxc drive but the result is the same with the "insert diskette" massage. (First time I installed the Hxc I got the "file format error" message instead , but after updating the firmware to latest version 1.8.xxx the "insert diskette" massage is the only thing I have. I have checked the cable and power and everything seems fine, so now I suspect that the floppy controller chip could be corrupt. Anyone have an idea where to find this chip on the main board? :) Kind Regards Vavido TX16W A3000 A5000 Title: Re: Floppy controller chip? Post by: vavido on February 04, 2016, 09:25:26 AM Found out via this excellent forum that the Z80A SIO/2 chip could be corrupt. Ordered it from UK, and now the floppy disk is working, and my emulator II+ boots up :)!
My sampler is originally an HD version, but the ROM chip and the scanner has been changed to support the non-HD version. Extremly happy now! :-) The Lotharek disk emulator is not working yet, but I guess it must be the cable or the jumpers. Title: Re: Floppy controller chip?
