Jean-François DEL NERO (la persona che sta dietro lo sviluppo del Floppy emulator HxC SD) ha recentemente rilasciato una versione del firmware HxC compatibile con il chip STM32 utilizzato nel Floppy Drive Gotek.

Il bootloader per convertire il floppy drive Gotek in HxC compatibile va acquistato sul sito di HXC 2001 inviando un’email a Jean-François DEL NERO. Il prezzo del bootloader e’ di 10 euro una tantum per ogni Gotek che si vuole aggiornare/convertire. Gli aggiornamenti successivi del software sono gratuti e possono essere fatti da chiavetta USB.

The HXC Usb (Gotek) firmware supports: + many more….

• Ensoniq EPS & Mirage series formats (*.IMG)
• General Music formats (*.IMG)
• Korg formats (*.IMG)
• X68000 (*.HDM,*.XDF)

This is only a little part of the changelog. The original one is very long and you can read it here.

Cosa sono le DiagROM?

Le DiagROM sono delle ROM diagnostiche per gli Home Computer della serie Commodore Amiga. Queste ROM tornano molto utili in alcune sistuazioni, tipo quando il computer non esegue correttamente il boot o si blocca.

Changelog:

• RTC Test improved with OKI Chipset support (but RTC test still is kind of buggy)
• Remade the autoconfig handling for much better ZorroIII support etc.
• Possability to turn on/off cache in manual memortedit (this WILL crach your machine on 68000/68010)
• Added an experimental “no chipmem” screen to try to figure out biterrors with rasterbars. (dark bar=dead bit, light bar=working bit)
• Added support for Amiga 1000 with a limited version of DiagROM.
• Parallel and serialporttests using SysTest compatible loopback adapters.
• Diskdrivetests.
• And.. some internal changes and stuff I actually forgotten.

Updatehistory:

• 2017-10-01:
  • Long time since last time:
  • Added tests for Parallel and serialporttesting using SysTest compatible loopbackadapters
• 2017-07-30:
  • Added possability to run on A1000 as bootstraprom. I have removed moduletesting and gfx test-screemn to save space.
  • Some additional bugfixes.
• 2017-07-06:
  • Fixed a bug, when setting DTR high I accidentally put Dikdrive motor on!
  • when no chipmem is foundand no fastmem, instead of just flashing a green screen, it now checks memaddr $400 and shows in stripes biterrors. bright color=bit working, dark=bit error. evbery 15 frame it flashes and steps +4 bytes of memaddr to check
• 2017-06-17:
  • Oh! yes long time. Now DiagROM is opensource avaible at https://github.com/ChuckyGang/DiagROM
  • Totally rewritten Autoconfig, now handles Z2 and Z3 and should be working. if you get stuck in a loop (autoconfig not working) it
  • will halt after 32 “boards”. Also in ManualEdit mode, I have inlcuded a function to turn on/off cache. to debug cacheissues on CPU Cards.
  • BE CAREFUL! this WILL crash if you run it on a 68000/010
  • Also fixed bug of garbage in menus.
