CD32 and SX1 problem

[Louis Dias]

make sure the switch on the back is set to enabled

hold both mouse buttons to get the early boot menu when powering on or resetting

make sure you have no CD disc in the CD32 and select the hard drive to boot from

click use
click boot


did you get a bigfoot PSU with it, I hear the stock Commodore unit may not power the drive well...

[Louis Dias]

make sure you power down after a good wiggle and power up again....  a simple reset won't cut it there

I had to elevate my CD32 about 1/8" higher than the SX-1 to get a good connection...

are you using the Bigfoot CD32 power supply?

I bought mine because I called Paravision (back then) and they said the stock Commodore unit didn't have the juic to power a hard drive.
