Trumpcard 500 not working
« on: February 02, 2016, 10:54:56 PM »
So I have 2 Trumpcard 500's and both say "This Device is not connected" when I boot off of version 1.3G of Trumpcard utilities.  I've even tried 2.0?  I think..or a later version. Same thing.  The A500 has 2.04 ROMS.  TC 500 is set to 1.2 kickstart, but changing to 1.3 didnt solve anything.   Surely these two cant be bad?   Very clean board inside also.  Drive spins up and stays spinning.

so if the eprom is gone, then there's no way to get eproms I take it?   Anyone have an image or can burn one for me?

I havent had a chance to mess with it.  I'll run sysinfo and see if it sees it.

good advice there.. Also its RDB compatible so that is why i suggested using hdtoolbox, the original software is pretty rough and picky with drives(unless maybe you manually set numbers).


Regardless whether its disabled or not when booted off of a floppy, point is, when booting from the Trumpcard software which I was doing, it should find the Trumpcard 500 and it doesnt.  

I'll try hdtoolbox next and I'll copy over ivs_scsi whatever its called..it pops up when I run the software and I *think* I saw it in Devs: or somewhere when I  manually copied it over.     I dont have any manual either.  I did find the TrumpCard 500 AT manual though and read thru it.
