Pepper Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Does anyone happen to have an error code list ? I acquired a 1000 TL/2 with a 40Mb Hard Drive. It seems to spin up on boot, but a 1701 error code appears and then it boots from ROM. The hard drive does not appear as the C: drive, ROM does. After 5 or so minutes the machine seems to lock up. If I remove the Hard drive and associated card, The computer boots and does not lock up. I'm wondering what the 1701 code means ... other than "hey your HD is knackered" TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo-Torch Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 There is plenty of information if you Google 1701. Was this a previous working setup? What controller card and hard drive are you using? Or is it a hard-card with the drive built right onto the card cage? Is the controller MFM or RLL and does the drive match? Are they made for Tandy? Maybe things changed with the TL, but my SL required a HD kit made specifically for Tandy. Have you accessed the settings menu and changed the boot option? If it's booting from ROM (which is C:), they're probably conflicting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
