V13.01 - 3 Issues - Ramdisk and Bootable Partitions

[ataridan549]

Thank you for your reply but I must respectfully disagree. A constant and consistent failure of the device on both my ST and STE, across two different power bricks and after doing everything I did to the cable and adapter, etc. That was a constant and consistent failure. All under TOS 1.4 and under TOS 1.62. Boot EmuTOS 1.4 from diskette and magically the UltraSatan (US) is fully recognized and all 3 SD Cards are seen, partitions mounted, etc. There is clearly something EmuTOS 1.4 does or does not do that made the US work, could be different code, different timings, who knows. I even went back to TOS and the US continued to NOT work after working great under EmuTOS. With EmuTOS I was able to update the firmware on the US from 1.2 to 1.3 Only then did the US start working again under TOS. There is a mystery in there somewhere. I am just glad that I am back with a working US. I downloaded your latest HDDRIVER 13.02 last might and will update to that later today. Hopefully the US will be as reliable now as it has been for the past several years. It's good to know that EmuTOS 1.4 and be used to access the US (at least in my situation) even when TOS could not. That helped in troubleshooting.

If you were right, then the UltraSatan would have a serious bug, because software that does not even know whether an UltraSatan is connected would be able to somehow change the UltraSatan's behavior. I am sure that there is no such UltraSatan bug, and that the only way to modify the UltraSatan firmware is the recommended firmware update procedure. Anything else does not make much sense, and it indeed sounds like magic.
However, I do not believe in magical software or hardware :). Just like loose connectors or incorrect termination (see my previous comment) are not magic, but only broken hardware setups, resulting in sometimes very weird behavior.

Anyway, it's good to hear that your UltraSatan is working again like it was working before.
