Just got a FujiNet - not working

[Alan Willford]

So, a few weeks back I bought a 800 after hearing about the FujiNet.  Finally got it yesterday and nothing but issues so far, starting to wonder if it is defective.  Most of the time I'll try to boot it and will get nothing, occasionally I'll hear the SIO beeping then it will stop and it will just sit there, other times I'll get a BOOT ERROR, or it will just go to the READY prompt.  A few times it actually did boot to the config screen.  But if I reboot the computer after that it will not work again.  Tried flashing it thinking that would help but nope.  

This is the output from when it just booted to the READY prompt.  Is the CHECKSUM_ERROR an indicator of an issue?  Anything else I can try?  thx

Using '/dev/cu.usbserial-10' as serial port.

When using FujiNet with an Atari 400 or 800 you need to have the FujiNet powered externally with via the MicroUSB port. The 400/800 OS boots too fast for the fuji. The newer XL/XE machines boot slower and don't have this issue.

Should have mentioned that - I do have it powered externally.  And I can go to the FujiNet through a web browser as well even if the 800 is off.

How do you have high speed SIO enabled?

The HSIO index?  By default it was 6 and I pretty much tried every value thinking the SIO port was timing out or something.  Nothing made a difference.  

[tschak909]

no, I mean, does your atari have an HSIO ROM in it? 

If not, this means your SIO port is failing somehow, do you have any other peripherals to test?

How would I tell?  I did see that Print Peek(65528) returns 243.  Which should be the latest ROMS based on this...

Unfortunately I bought it as part of a 2600 lot and outside of a few game carts, nothing else came with it.  So can't test the SIO port with something like a floppy drive.  And don't have access to another 8-bit to see if the FujiNet works on that.  Maybe I can find another Atari person in the NW Ohio area and see if it works on their system.  

I did plan on taking apart the machine to clean it, reseat the chips, and see if there were any obvious problems like failing caps.  But for the most part, everything on it has seemed to work fine.....except for the FujiNet.

ok, if you didn't install one, there probably isn't one in there. Either the FujiNet has a fault on it, or the SIO section of the Atari (from the pokey on up) has a fault. ?

Pretty sure the 800 has never been cracked open, and since there was nothing else included in the lot, I don't even know if they ever used any peripherals.  But yeah, that is where I'm at now - could be a SIO problem or a FujiNet problem, but no way to determine that right now.  Or the FujiNet is technically fine, but there is an issue with the connection to the SIO plug like possibly a bad or loose solder joint.
