Hi there.

I have a hard time trying to get my picomem to run on my commodore pc10-3.

I have flashed the latest October FR version on the picomem, and I have tried a lot of different combinations of settings in config.
But nothing works.

What is the trick?
I need a little knowhow to get any further, I think...

All help is highly appreciated.

Kind regards
Peter

I have the PicoMem running in a Toshiba T3200 (286 12MHz) without an issues so far. But if the card isn’t working at all, I can only give you the advice to open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/FreddyVRetro/ISA-PicoMEM/issues
The creator of the PicoMem is very friendly and has - of course - a very deep understanding of the PicoMem.

Do you have another computer to test the card?

Hi, I've had issues with an early PC-10 just recently and a newer BIOS had fixed things (wasn't picomem related).
Maybe there's a more recent version for PC 10‐III, as well. I've also installed a V20, but maybe that upgrade wasn't critical.

OMG...

It was the MicroRAM card that I by mistake had set to fill the same address space...
DOH!

Now it is working 💪
