Hi.. I'm not sure if I'm doing anything wrong but... I've not had my MyIDE+Flash card long, but so far I've not been able to get the cart to give me the FDISK option. The Myide boot menu doesn't come up on its own, I have to hold down select+start. If you then go into option 3, you don't get the choice to load FDISK, just Pico Dos and Free cell. It's running rom 4.6 beta, and I've tried a couple of different CF's Cheers |

FDISK is replaced by the MyIDE-menu. The menu is now a part of the BIOS. Hold START+OPTION+SELECT at powerup, or press HELP anytime. |

The manual is online at the 4.6beta section. |

I've bought a SIO2PC, serial version.. And I've finally found a PC that is happy detecting its com port.. Yay.. Attached mydos 4.53 via ape.. all good.. Or so it seems.. I need to partition the CF.. 4.6 manual says.. "Boot your Atari while holding START+SELECT+OPTION. You should enter the MyIDE_MENU." But I get the Myide Bootmenu.. (MR Atari 2001.. blue menu, options 1-4) I can get to the Myide menu.. By pressing HELP once the machine is up and running.. But I don't seem to be able to..," • Press I (init)and wait until it has detected the drive geometry." Am I missing the point, or is my "myide" cart bricked? 4.6beta btw |

Yeah, the blue menu is the standaard 3.5F BIOS. Let me know if/were you find quircky bugs. The #5 beta has some QD-issues, so better not use them. But with MyDOS you surely won't use QD partitions..... Later, Sijmen. |
