Please help testing: New loader release imminent
Hi,
before releasing the next version of my loader, i'd like to make sure it works alright on random actual hardware.
Basically i only need to know on which hardware combination it fails.
Some information about exotic hardware which works with it (anything that is not 1541/71/81) is also appreciated.
I'd be grateful for all reports.
The test images can be found here.
Thank you! |

Thx Krill, the new d64 works fine with the c128dcr internal drive. Test ran OK, for 8 minutes or so.
However when I switch off the internal drive and use an 1541u on the c128d the test hangs after about 30-40 seconds at this point (screenshot):

Hi Krill!
Few days ago I got a new C-64C and 1541-II. I decided to test the loadertest-v115.zip on the hardware, but it didn't run longer than ~8 seconds. I thought that the new hardware is the problem, but it seems that the loader doesn't work on any combination of my C= hardware. I tested it quickly with old breadbox, two new model C-64s and two different 1541-II drives. If I'll find my 1541 I'll test it also later.
Here's some error messages I wrote down.
--->
@$1342/$81($09,$4c): Wrong end address.
PAL, #8/CBM1541II, $0856
2.250 kB/s POLLBLOCK

64ever Insomnia (v1.1) drive test passes fine. I also tested some demos and all seem to work ok.
I will do more thorough tests later.
BTW: Does anyone have older version of Insomnia (v1.0?) which is more sensitive on the drives it works. I'd like to have it on my "test kit".

Alright, this is confirmed to work fine with Trurl's 1541 now.
So, all for whom the former builds didn't work, please check if this one does now, thanks! (Also hi vedos!)
Clarence: Maybe this build works on your C128DCR+1541u setup. If not, i'll let it rest until all "real" drives work and then see. Not the first time 1541u is to blame for my loader not working alright with it.. :) |

loadertest-v118 works now on the 1541-II I'm using.
The another 1541-II doesn't work, but it's most probably because the drive heads aren't clean.
I have also 2x normal 1541 and one 1541 clone drive... I'll try to find 'em also to test. |

vedos: Thanks!
Clarence: I have a suspicion that 1541u fails with extended disk images. I have prepared another image which doesn't use tracks 36-40 (it is a 40-track image, however). Can you tell me if this works? Thanks!

Should this work with IEEE drives aswell? If so I can test it on my SFD-1001 (unfortuanely my 2031lp seems to be broken :( ) |

Meatball: I'm working on it, expect a SFD-1001 compatible image soon. Thanks for the suggestion, never checked that in VICE before. |

This build *should* work on SFD-1001.
The MeatBall: Now you may test it, i'm excited! :) |

I'm away for the weekend, but will see if I can test it next week. Now, how to get a .d82 over to a floppy when I can't use my 1541U with my IEEE interface :) |
