Bridgeboard emulation (x86 CPU, for example A2286)

Toni Well, then it was not so crazy request

I am still not able to run the XTIDE Universal BIOS with the A2286 Bridgeboard expansion.
If anyone (except Toni ) was able to run a hard disk image, please upload your config (*.uae) file.

Attach your config and I'll explain whats wrong (if anything).

("Not able" equals "does not work", you need much better description..)

I am not sure my config is enough information in this case.
Anyway, thanks for trying to help.

I attach my files, used SCSI Controller ID > > ide_xt.bin (XTIDE_Universal_BIOS_v1.1.5)

It isn't. Real hardware supports multiple display cards.

It looks perfectly fine. Do you see any universal bios boot messages? (It should show some messages before DOS boot starts, after memory tests) Does it work if you use A2088?

Sorry, it does not work (config+flash) for me.
Which hard disk type for your 30MB(?) image you choosed?

PS: It seems, the AT IDE Primary is in your config enabled too.

As I already said: BIOS HD setting has nothing to do with universal XTIDE BIOS. BIOS HD setting can be zero and it will still work.

No, I still got the 1782 Controller Failure
Same config which I posted above.

I wanted to create a HD 30M so that we can install multiple applications.

Yes, in "CD Har Drives" I left "AT Ide Primary", it's wrong?
Unfortunately, with the help of Google Translator I could not understand the last message of Toni, if someone helps my understanding i would be happy

I tried the A2088T expansion and I got a EC000h Optional ROM bad checksum = F1

Hmm.. I think I had same problem, one of the universal bios packages don't have checksum (zero byte in place of checksum value), I had to load it in xtide configuration program (under virtual machine because it is 16-bit dos program which won't work in 64-bit systems) and then save it to fix the checksum..

Wait, maybe it is working with the A2088T expansion.
I need to make an double check ...

OK, I tried the XTIDE Universal BIOS v2.0.0 Beta 3 (ide_xt.bin) and I got the universal bios boot message now but can not detect any hard disk image.
Tested with the A2088T Bridgeboard expansion (the title (A2286) of the config is wrong)

[AnnaWu]

I will try to configure/save the XTIDE Universal BIOS with "xtidecfg.com"

300 is correct default address. You sure your HDF exists?

[AnnaWu]

A2088T Bridgeboard expansion
OK, the XTIDE Universal BIOS detect now the master drive.
I can start FDISK and partitioning the detected hard disk image but the partition info will not be saved. It seems, the hard disk image is not writable.
Maybe I have to change the address?

Attach winuaelog.txt after partitioning. It should have enough IDE logging to see if some things go wrong.

I will do it tomorrow because I have to prepare the dinner.

I think I solved A2386SX invalid configuration BIOS message.

It seems to happen if monochrome mode is configured, I guess it isn't supported anymore? (EDIT: hmm.. it looks like A2386SX has different default mode config than other boards) (Also some other "wrong" BIOS settings trigger it) Boot delay also seems to be normal, it is some extra initialization.

winuae.7z updated, it has some tweaks to support VLSI chipset init registers (used only on A2386SX)
