Built a 2nd interface on the micro basis, it also did not work. HMMMMM Well - Desolder time, and I am now moving to the MegaSTE interface (it has parity) ALso many of those have been built and working. SO .. maybe better luck with that one. All these $5 prototype boards.. grrrr.. such a waste, I have no idea why the current one wont work. James

Got bluescsi to work on the TT.. np.. RNs in.. np. So for just one device leaving them in seems to be fine.

Sorry for the hassle, I always forget, try again in a basic setup.. YES, it does not seem to work with NVDI - WHY? im not sure.. but that seems to be the issue.. bummer.

WOW, very cool your still around Paul, thanks. I have tried this on my 3 types of machines, NOT tried it on EMU yet, Hatari might be a good test for that. I am trying it on ST(4mb) MegaSTE and TT030. This is the 220c version.. last one that you put out I think. Now the archive is a LZH - when you try and decompress it, it states .... see pic. So maybe thats the issue? the program still loads. It is also attached 46k - everyone I have downloaded over the years is the same lzh archive of 46k - so I am pretty sure its the only one out there. I have not found a 220b or 210.. etc.. dcx220c.lzh

Figured this is the appropriate thread. If you use DC Xtract 220c - do you see the text of the archive listed in the main window? mine on several machines is the same color as the background.. I cant see anything.. its there.. I can select it. Anyone else? James

Did you get it to work? The bluescsi V2 is it internal? 50pin or external DB25. I am trying to get my external Bluescsi V2 working on my TT and no luck so far.. Term out or in. James

Unfortunately I do not have anything on 25pin DB.. any real drive I have is 50pin or 68pin. A fellow on the Bluescsi discord has this working on Link2 device same computer. so it should but he is using ICD 6.5.5 which I of course have tried as well. No joy yet.

I have contacted Tori on another forum and I am on the bluescsi Discord, but I am pretty positive this is not a Bluescsi issue, its the interface board. James

Well no joy yet. I have my bluescsi v2 - seems to be working fine. the Log.txt file on the SD card seems good. SO I must assume my interface I built is not working correctly.. this is where I fail - not really good enough to do proper logic testing.. not sure how to see if data is being attempted?? or not. James

Congrats, you beat us to it by mins only. Sent you a pm James

SO if you are a member of Atari Forum or Exxos Forum and are interested in hardware there are full threads there on this. A Polish fellow named Tori or Toriman depending on the forum reversed Engineered a bunch of hardware boards from back in the late 80s and 90s http://atari.myftp.org/atari16bit/icdmicro/icdmicro.html is the micro project - you can back though the site to see the others. The micro was originally designed for internal mounting in the MegaST - to allow a HDD to be inside the pizza box. Well I have wanted to use one of the SCSI2pi or bluescsi projects for a while, but it is designed for a SCSI interface not ACSI - so when this was done I thought it was perfect to reshape as an external project. I have done that. Just figuring out how to do my power to the board and I will post it all up.

It will run from a HD.. it needs 1meg of memory - if you want to run as an HD program there is a file that needs to be renamed - in the manual near back running on HD. Tos should be fine anyway. but if you emu a STF then do 1.04 (most compatible) James btw runs fine in Hatari - so the data disk .st does work. guess my physical copy is corrupt.

If anyone else can try, I have loaded the software, but I keep getting an error with it, info.fil on register and edinfo.fil on editor. It says it cannot load. Anyone got it to work? James

That is a cool story save2600 James was just going though stuff after the move and wanted to make sure it had been archived!

Did a manual ever get scanned and uploaded? James
