I am having trouble booting to xtide on either of my 486 MB. Both don't have onboard ide so i must use an I/O card. I have tried my best to read other related posts before posting (using 3com III)
Here are some of the images of configuration of the boot rom in 3cx9cfg.
I have an tl866II programmer and tried burning the xtl.bin 10kb file. Filled the rest with 0's or copied and pasted the bin file again at the 16k mark. Im using a 32kb eprom (m27c256b)
Tried investigating the error. In a checkit program it sees the eprom at d0000 but states unkown rom.
The conflict relates the address used 300h?
I am very tired as tried many things and apologise if this doesn't make sense.
Will xtide work if i dont have a CF card plugged in. Will it simply state no drives detected?
Many Thanks 😊
