Well, I just downloaded the current ROM and CF Card image directly from
stack180.com. I updated my P112 with both of them. I seem to be able to start and boot off of the CF Card image with no issues. Below is a log of my system startup and boot from the CF Card. This makes me think there must be a hardware difference of some kind. The P112 itself is a pretty standard thing and there are no differences in the various runs of the board that I am aware of. However, I do believe there were a few variations on the GIDE board. I am running the D-GIDE Rev A1 dated 2015 from TG Consulting.
As you will see below, I am booting with the command "Z 3" to boot directly from the GIDE. I am curious what happens if you use the "L 3" command. This should read the boot tracks and return to the ROM prompt. Even if the CF Card image is bad, this should work. If not, then I would think there is an issue with the GIDE and/or CF Card (as opposed to the image on the CF Card). When I use "L 3", I get a message back like "Boot Track(s) loaded @ 8100H. Execute via G 8060".
For what it is worth, I can also boot to floppy with no issues. If you can write the floppy image to a floppy, you should be able to try that without any reliance on the GIDE hardware.
Thanks,
Wayne
