Opry99er Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 We had a fun day today at the CTIUG meeting. Something kind of wonky happened though, and I thought I would bring it up here. We were trying to use the FinalGROM99 cartridge with my brand new CorComp 9900 FDC and some weird crap happened. When accessing the main FG menu, the screen went goofy and the screaming tone of death flooded the speakers. Not sure if this has been seen before, but it seems to be a conflict between these two pieces of hardware. I'm thinking the system takeover and startup routine in the FDC are the culprits. I have ordered the MG upgrade EPROMs from Hummingbird, and I hope this will fix the problem. Below I have posted a picture and also linked to the video. You can see this behavior around the 2:00:00 mark. https://youtu.be/HDL0Ph2gQh8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift838 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 You already mentioned the recommendation I would have given. MG EPROMS... Let us know how they work when you get them if it correct the problem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterfleeman Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I had this same problem. The MG ROMs fixed it for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+InsaneMultitasker Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 My card has the original EPROMs and it does not play nicely with the ubergrom cartridge and PGRAM card. I should probably take the same path to update my card. I don't use it very often but it is nice when running a handful of programs that won't run properly from a Myarc card due to programmer assumptions about certain DSR/memory configurations.

+videofx Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Yup, I had the same problem and the EPROMS fixed the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 For those who need them, I have the MG EPROMs among my inventory. They are $14 for the 2 chip set. Just send me a PM and I'll get them shipped out. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apersson850 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I changed to the MG Eproms way back, and that took away all CorComp controller issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+adamantyr Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 yeah same here. MG Eproms. The Extended BASIC 2.7 cartridge also doesn't work quite right without them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
