external fujinet not booting?


Recommended Posts

Hi can someone help? Ive got an external fujinet i think 1.7? it works great on my atari's except i cant get it to boot on my 600xl/ ultimate 1mb machine? My other ataris have ultimate 1mb and it works great on them? I have the small 1.5 versions and they work great on the 600xl but not this external one?

 

I have flashed the latest firmware on the fujinet and ive tried in spartados FMALL and reset the fujinet? All i seem to get is the far right light lights up orange when ever i try FMALL or CONFIG or even DIR in spartados? So theres nothing wrong with the SIO cable as ive tested with a 1050 drive and sdrive max?

Ive also tried settings in the web config and still nothing? Only thing is the orange light lights up? Ive tried doing the serial debug output and its not doing anything? Im on serial device 7 i press serial debug then reset on the fujinet and nothing shows? The usb cable works great for flashing so i know its not that? but the main concern is why wont it boot on my 600xl but will on other ataris? Yet the 1.5 fujinet works great with same latest firmware?

 

What does 140 SIO framing error mean ?

Make sure SIO speed limiting caps are removed on the problem 600XL

Make sure the U1M is configured exactly as the other machine is every last way, firmware, jed, etc. and all enable / disables etc match

once that's done, either it should be working or troubleshooting can begin.

are you NTSC or PAL?

Hi Doctor, I have done all this? Latest firmware on ultimate 1mb the fujinet latest firmware and the power cable is working. In spartados i boot and the orange light lights up on the fujinet but then when i press reset and type FMALL nothing I get 138 Device does not respond

 

The external fujinet works great on my other ultimate setups? and the fujinet 1.5 works great on the 600xl? so whats confusing is why the external one does not? Ive emailed Jakub at retrolemon and he suggested trying a cable for power which im already doing? In web settings ive tried changing the wait status... nothing seems to make it boot? as i say the orange light lights up on the fujinet which means communciation is happening from the atari to fujinet?

 

Ive flashed the ultimate with the latest firmware from jazz's site and all is well so i am asking do i need to flash the ultimate with a firmware to combine ultimate/fujinet ?

Is the external Fujinet 1.7 the same as the Fujinet Prof? https://retrolemon.co.uk/atari-8bit-storage-devices/222-fujinet.html. Incidentally I have a Fujinet 1.6.

 

A framing error indicates there is data corruption on the SIO. Are the capacitors that you removed for HSIO for your 600XL C89 and C90 1nF, and what exact SIO speeds have you tried?

 

I would suggest that you post a log, captured by the Fujinet Flasher program, to the Fujinet Testing and Bug Reporting thread.

Go into webui config and turn HSIO divisor down on fujinet and try again.

Remember SpartaDos X can not do divisor zero for normal disk operations, while it's pclink driver can.

Older Sparta Dos Variants needs even slower SIO rates.

u1m overides the OS SIO with it's own HSIO

This will help you troubleshoot or at least help you get working until you solve the issue.

Also, make sure the power supplies are standard Atari Supplies all plugged in to the same outlet.

I have seen traco and other dc to dc converter mods in disk drives etc interfere with High Speed SIO on other devices.
