David you were the one that brought up that IDE drive “A” & “B” labeling etc. on that V2 to V2a board. Do you have time to look into it. Do you have a V2a board.

I've also tried decreasing the pull up resistors on the 7403's to 330 ohm. I noticed that David Fry has suggested using a 74S03 in his notes, unfortunately I don't have any here to try. - Gary On Saturday, May 10, 2014 12:36:15 AM UTC-4, monahanz wrote: Is this the older V2 board or the newer V2a board John From: [email protected] <javascript:> [mailto:[email protected] <javascript:> ] On Behalf Of [email protected] <javascript:> Sent: Friday, May 9, 2014 9:24 PM To: [email protected] <javascript:> Subject: [N8VEM-S100:3592] Re: Run of Dual CF-Card/Hard Disk IDE S-100 Boards Assembled a dual IDE board this evening, and am having an interesting problem. I'm using 2 Syba IDE-->CF cards with 128mb CF Flash (have also tried some 4mb Kingston types). If I output directly to ports I can control the hex display and select drive "A" or "B", although the "A" and "B" drive LED's seem reversed. Using MYIDE.COM it will only initialize if both drives are present, and then I can't select drive "B" from the program. It will access and format drive "A" just fine. I've tried swapping 74LS03's out, and changing them to 7403, 74LS38 and 7438 types with no improvement. I've also swapped out every other chip on the board, and resoldered everything. Any ideas of where to look? - Gary -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "N8VEM-S100" group.
