i have a funny feeling this is a problem with my DBA-ESDI emulator. also it appears to be corrupting sector writes, so i'll need to solve that problem.

@tubetime I remember that screensaver. IIRC the Windows NT version even did hard drive access that made the light come on to simulate writing a crash dump anyway I got new hardware -- this is my version of the device for the 72-pin DBA-ESDI form factor. I've made minor changes to the FPGA bitstream so it can handle this card as well. my DIFDIAG program can see the drive and talk to it, but some functions don't seem to be working. this will take some troubleshooting. @tubetime I think this might be handy for Sega TeraDrive owners who don't want to waste the 1 free ISA slot on an IDE controller when the ESDI drive dies. |
this is hilarious: the xscreensaver called "bsod" (which i used to use as my screensaver many years ago) has an OS/2 2.0 fake BSOD with many of the same details! same trap address, same BIOS version. wild.
