Re: Atari STe 1040 trashing UltraSatan SD card
@zChris IMP DMA's don't work in STE's.. Have you have that in since the beginning ?

Just because a lot of people agree on something, doesn't make it a fact. ~exxos ~

Re: Atari STe 1040 trashing UltraSatan SD card
Yeah, it came with that.
Re: Atari STe 1040 trashing UltraSatan SD card
That is probably where your problems started from. The fixes are for the -38 DMA which is normally fitted to STEs. The IMP won't work in a STE. At least the tests I did, I don't think the hard drive worked at all, maybe even killed the floppy drive as well. So someone has likely screwed with that machine already. Likely it originally had DMA issues originally when it had the -38 DMA in it and someone's "fixed it" by fitting a IMP DMA which will malfunction even worse than the -38 in a STE.

Re: Atari STe 1040 trashing UltraSatan SD card
Alright, that's a real shame. But it should still boot right?
Re: Atari STe 1040 trashing UltraSatan SD card
Yep.

Re: Atari STe 1040 trashing UltraSatan SD card
Does the STe still show a white screen if the DMA chip is missing from its socket ?

Re: Atari STe 1040 trashing UltraSatan SD card
IIRC it doesn't boot without the DMA. But not 100% sure without trying it.

Re: Atari STe 1040 trashing UltraSatan SD card
I was thinking i better ask this before i try it. Is there a chance that putting back a 2.2kOhm might help since it work with that at first
Re: Atari STe 1040 trashing UltraSatan SD card
I think you've broken a trace when swapping the 2.2k with 1.2k. swapping back increases the chance of doing more damage. It worked before, so surely a trace has to be at fault.
Re: Atari STe 1040 trashing UltraSatan SD card
If you are definitely sure you have the 1.2K pack ( and the correct bussed type - I assume you got it from the store?) and assuming you have it greatly orientated then as Steve suggests, it may be best leaving it alone. It does sound like you have damaged a track.
