Fuzix on the SC126

[Michael Dadswell]

Hi,

I've just tried running Fuzix from an SD card. I copied the ide file  using: 

dd if=sc126-0.3.ide of=/dev/sdb skip=2

When I run the boot loader I get this :

Reading disk information...
Loc=F200 End=F400 Ent=F200 Label=Fuzix 126 Loader

Loading...

and then it stops.

I'm sure I did this a couple of years ago but can't recall how !  :(

I'm using RomWBW HBIOS v3.0.1, 2020-04-04 and I've also tried using a CF card with the same result.

Any suggestions welcome..

Mike

I remember something similar on my sc126 with that prebuilt 0.3 version.
It does work when built from the current master.

0.3 does some clever things with SD cards, where clever actually turns
out to be "not allowed and not a good idea" so it doesn't work on the
SC126 unless you happen to have one of a few cards.

The head should work on the SC126 as it's one of my main platforms,
although not much has happened of late as I've been busy with real
life.

Sorry Alan you've lost me. What's this "real life" of which you speak? Some sort of internet game? Must be addictive if it's dragging you away from your computing. I hope it isn't contagious as I don't want any of it :)

Great graphics, terrible plot.
