I've searched the forum but haven't gotten far.
Goal: to boot the system from DOS 3.3 install disk and install it on a CF card.
Setup:
No-name 8088 board, ARC Turbo BIOS Version 1.23 6/27/85
Multi-Floppy config:
FDC 1 at 03F0, IRQ6, DRQ2
Drive 0: 1.44 MB, 3.5", #0 on FDC 1; Drive 1: 360 KB, 5.25" #1 on FDC 1
Gotek: FlashFloppy 3.35
What I'm getting:
1. I'm loading one of these images https://winworldpc.com/product/ms-dos/3x (I tried various 360K, 720K, 1.44M) onto pendrive and to Gotek.
2. Start the system (ARC BIOS always shows X Turbo System Error # 04 on cold boot, only boots further after Ctrl+Alt+Delete).
3. After successful BIOS start I'm getting Press F2 to run the Multi-Floppy BIOS and then: Boot failed, error 40. Press F for the original IPL or any key to try again... (the F key won't do anything). Nothing is being read from Gotek.
4. When I disable the Multi-Floppy BIOS, I'm getting Insert floppy disk in drive A but again nothing is being read from Gotek.
Any pointers?
Also, if I'm forced to take shortcuts, are there any CF HD DOS images for 8088 which I can boot from my CF-XT adapter?
