Relokick 1.4a giving different result

Snoopy1234 · 26 December 2022, 12:55

Hi there. I usually use Relokick 1.4a by Galahad of Fairlight as supplied by Cloanto on a regular basis with my A1200. Since this week it has been giving an error, Corrupted boot screen and df0: reads are not dos disk. I've re-written the Relokick disk from a read file I made which was working and no change. I haven't found (or sought yet) a download link from Mike at Cloanto for the extras pack including Relokick. Would this be a hardware problem or is Relokick somehow broken? Pics attached.

My system is A1200 ACA 1231 3.1 rom OS3.9 pfs3 16GB CF FZ-357 fdd.

bad FDD and or disk maybe ? try to reformat the disk with X-Copy -set 'verify' on- to check if the disk has bad sectors

I've re-downloaded the original relokick 1.4a and written it and verified. Same result. Fdd is ok on WB 3.9.

may it's a bit overkill, try to re-seat/clean the contacts of the accelerator card.

The ACA 1231 has reserved memory at some early address for kickrom mapping. Relokick loads the kickstart @ 00C0000 address. Maybe conflicting? I'll try reseating the card though.

Try booting that disk with the card off, just in anycase.

disk boots ok without card. cleaned contacts no change. changed card to aca 1221lc.

Didn't work with aca 1221lc either. I think it must be the ACA cards have 1mb preserved memory allocated for rom functions and that's where relokick is sending it's file causing a conflict. I could try a Blizzard 1230 IV, DKB Cobra or a straight 8mb ram card but I really like the ACA 1231 card. It's beautiful to use. I really only use Relokick to test ocs adf's ,on a real machine and are an issue for people online. It's a nice thing to do but whatever.
