No, I meant that I have setup A1000 with the Sidecar. Now, I boot the Amiga with a floppy with Workbench and Sidecar required files (folder "PC" and mono/color executables). As I open PC Display window, it gives me the BIOS copyright notices, then starts counting the memory, telling bad drive A: and restarting itself. Or telling me that "No printer found" and staying there. This behaviour seems to change depending on which Workbench disk image I use, so I believe the floppy has some settings related to the PC side. I haven't yet get it to ask a bootable DOS floppy. Do I just select the DF2 as a 40 track drive and it will work as the Sidecar's internal floppy drive? I am confused about it as the Sidecar's drive is not usually accessibly from the Amiga-side and I would have expected the Sidecar's disk drive being it's own setting in the Expansions screen. |

I am a bit confused.
The official Beta 5 (winuae_3200b5.7z) and the Expansion panel is working well on my WinXP. The last snaphot version (http://www.winuae.net/files/b/winuae.7z) show me the panel for SCSI Controllers only on WinXP. On Windows 7 all other Controllers and Bridgeboards are visible and selectable. Quote:

New feature: IDE HD support for A2286/A2386 (BIOS supported). At least FDISK and FORMAT worked
I also added XT IDE for A1060/A2086 but because originally HD support required separate ISA card, BIOS does not have any HD support, you need boot ROM from XT IDE ISA card. Anyone have one? Or boot rom XT compatible IDE board is fine too. Yes, this is really getting out of Amiga emulation area but it only needed few extra lines of code, hooking up already existing XT IDE and IDE emulation to PC IO ports. |

Can you use XTIDE Universal BIOS?

How about the Acculogic sIDE-1/16 8 bit IDE controller?

Two questions:
1) Any thoughts about emulating vortex 486 goldengate? (if possible) 2) Is the software shipped with the Commodore boards available online? Or maybe manuals? |

I have a functioning XT hard card in my A1060. I can't remember the details, but it boots the A1060 to an old version ms-dos from the HD. Would this be helpful in some way? I also have an 8 bit OMTI RLL controller that I bought from Prespect Techniques back in the day with the HDA-506 (long gone). I think there is bios on that card as well. Let me know if I can help in some way.

You can find it in a variety of locations such as: http://amiga.resource.cx/dir/bridge Manuals are in that link also. Look in this thread for the link to the A2386SX manual and more links to disk images, roms, etc... |

Commodore bridgeboard emulation was only possible because A500/A2000 Technical Reference manual described it very well. (Memory spaces, IO ports, special bits etc..) Quote:

XTIDE Universal BIOS was the easiest choice after all. Support added, at least A1060 seems to work with it.
Bridgeboard HD support: Done. |

Pointless stuff is always the best. For a while. Maybe.
I "invented" yet another new pointless feature: Use existing Cirrus Logic RTG board emulation to create ISA VGA board! It should be quite simple, only some glue code needed. It would appear as a x86-only RTG board in WinUAE options. |
