drac030 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) I have no idea how SIO2IDE works (never had one), nor what problems you experience, nor what SDX version you are using. Edited January 31, 2022 by drac030 typo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
576XE Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 Hello, drac030 ! I beg you pardon for long-term delay. I just tryed to obtain some suggestions before writing. The SIO2IDE is simple IDE interface. As any SIO device it MUST be clearly declared for Atari before Atari turning on. From the other side, being real IDE device it MUST have some seconds delay for spinning the HD spindle. This delay is HW flashed in device BIOS. (I use SIO2IDE with DOM - very compact designe!) It means that if the power supply for SIO2IDE received from Atari (my case), Atari never see SIO2IDE at a time. Standard loading of SIO2IDE looks like 2 stage process: - 1. Atari load itself not defining SIO2IDE. This time SIO2IDE boots to working state. - 2. Pressing 'Reset' console key (with other console keys if needed) we are defining SIO2IDE as a SIO device for Atari. As I haven't external power supply now to independently prepare SIO2IDE before Atari turning on, I can not use Dropcheck's 'Super SDX' as it boots earlier then Atari and so SIO2IDE stays unavailable even after 'Reset'. May be it's possible to patch 'C: subsystem' somehow to arrange controlable delay by pressing 'Space' to enable SIO2IDE after booting SDX ... . (Simply my DataRecorder is dead.) Best wishes from Moscow. zen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Simple do this: Let the SDX boot. Meanwhile the SIO2IDE has time to get started. Then do a coldboot from the command prompt in SDX... type COLD or press reboot button in cart and do a reset. As long as the Atari is powered, the SIO2IDE will be powered. I am not a huge fan by the way of this version of SIO2IDE. I found the version 3.x much better. Sometimes an update/upgrade is not better than the former version. I have Sio2IDE 3.3 in a cigar box here. Works like a charm. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
576XE Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 Hello, Marius It seems to me that I created too bad SIO2IDE structure. May you advise me sample sio2ide config? And is it possible to keep s2i.com fdisk.com and s2s.com in root of SIO2IDE? zen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second question depends in what you have on D1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
