Now you are able to boot images from your MyIDE image part, you could put ATR images directly from your PC with the right tools on your MyIDE CF cart.
With that in mind you could be able to flash the Ultimate 1MB with a new OS using the image part of MyBIOS.
I don't want to throw oil on the fire, but I have had better results with R1 of MyBIOS (even when using MyIDE II cart).
MyBIOS R1 (and R2) are very compatible, and very good substitutes for the standard OS. I do not have any experience with SIDE, but from what I saw on the movies about SIDE I am pretty sure that MyIDE with the MyBIOS-menu (on the fly swapping and all that) is the better choice.
I hope Sijmen (mr atari) will get time to fix the small bugs there are left in the MyBIOS versions, but even without those fixed, it's a powerful solution.
I have no experience with JTAG and U1MB. Let us know how you're doing with the home made cable...
Not so fast, the flashing ATR is > 512K and as such cannot be mounted in the image portion, it has to be mounted as a partition, but it also requires SDX support, I tried to boot an SDX rom with MyIDE2 drivers thru FAT32Loader but it simply didn't work, it got stuck somewhere.
The only reason I had for SIDE2 was for reflashing and put R2 on U1MB, now I have first to try and update the CPLD to see if that unblocks my case, then I'll see.
