>>Dude, you've got it wrong.
No I have not
>>You're supposed to connect the floppy cable from the F030 mainboard to the CT6x.
Yes, and this is what I have done!
>This is necessary since the F030 bus connector does not cater for the 12V supply.
Thats right.
>>You're not supposed to power the CT6x from that connector.
Who said I was doing that?
LOL
Once again crossed lines...
I have NOT been tryign to run the CT63 from that connector.
What you just suggested I do, is EXACTLY what I have been doing.
---
Although as of last night, the Falcon started going stupid again even though I have doen NOTHING to ahcange anything...
First of all, my NVRAM was buggered and I had to INIT it several times.
I then ran the NVRAMCLEAR Program and this helped stop the INIT dialog coming up.
The Time kept changing from 4:00 to 4:16 every few seconds and I would not have noticed this but for LEDPANEL.
And it was booting up in 320x200 all the time.
I have done half a cure, but this time I have had to save to both NVRAM and FLASH to try to get soemthign sorted, but it still wont save half the crap
I proceeded to then trace down each and every pin on the Socket to make sure the contacts are good, and there was only the one pin... This one pin thats bent on the socket does not even have a pin going to it fromthe Dalles/Maxin Chip, so that would make absolutely no difference anyway... I still connected it for peace of mind.
So, after all of this Im back to square one.
This cannot possibly be me, I know now that either my Falcon has an issue, or the CT63 does. I know Im not as up with Atari knowledge as many here, but I also know Im not a tosser either, andthese issues are NOT human error... They cannot be.
Im giving up on the whole thing for a bit cos Im just going crazy all the time.
