Anyone here have any experience getting the PicoMem to work?

I have the Rev 1.20 with Pico W, and the January 25 FastRam firmware. The EuroPC 1 has a Nec V20 CPU and it’s running at 9,54 MHz.

I’ve tried different start addresses and PREBOOT setting to no avail.

PicoMem is powered, but I can’t access its boot menu, and hence not boot from the hard disk or floppy image. I’ve tested the PicoMem in another computer and the boot menu appears there.

Apparently, the Schneider EuroPC is among the more challenging systems. I know some users have been successful with EuroPC II, but I have the first version.

I had an issue opened at the PicoMem repo, but it was marked as completed as someone else’s, who had an EuroPC II, problem was sorted. Github doesn’t seem to support reopening of the issue.

I thought I’d ask here, before I create another issue about the same problem. Is there someone who has gotten the PicoMem working with the EuroPC I? What is the firmware/config combo which will display the PicoMem boot menu?
