Old BreadBox doesn't work with U1541
Hello everybody here.
I have a serious problem because my compo-machine for Riverwash 2014 (with old sid) doesn't want to collaborate with U1541.
So generaly I have U1541-II with software 2.6j and it works fine with my C64C and it works also fine with C128 (PHI time change is required but it's normal).
I have one C64 made in Germany, breadbox edition (old sid). This C64 works fine with Action Replay 7.x and standard floppy drives but it doesn't work with U1541. The problem is, when I choose a file to execute from U1451 menu, the blue screen appears, and I can see 'mounting' comunicate, but this is all, the C64 stops.
Maybe you have any idea where shall I start my investigation to run up the old C64 again on the track, please help. |

At last, problems with cartrige init:

0. I start with cartridge 'Retro...'
1. I change cartridge to 'no cartridge'
2. I reset computer (once or twice), Basic stops.
3. I switch off and on, then the Basic appears.

You may have already done this, but have you tried using another power supply? Or perhaps try to clean the connectors on the c64 (cartridge). Remove everything and only connect the 1541u2 and try again |

I have tested two power supplies. One original breadbox, second new C64C one. Both of them work fine with new C64C+U1541. Both work fine with breadbox attached to real 1541 drive.
I didn't hardly checked connectors in fact, due to correct work of breadbox c64 with real Action Replay 7. OK, I will check it today evening. |

not a party stopper if it works with a real drive. just some more work to copy the releases the disks. |

I believe no one is using regular 1541 during polish parties nowadays ;) |

which is a shame really. at least for trackmo that should be a must. i'd hate to see a 1541u menu popping up for diskchange in my demo during compo. (which wont work anyway as soon as some advanced raster/nmi setup is used in the turn disk part) |

nothing to do with that really, as said, it simply wont work in many cases anyway - so you NEED a real setup anyway if you want to be properly prepared. |

remember two years ago how the chameleon change disk with coma light 13 didn't work and peiseluli was short before going bananas? :)
So, basically what groepaz sez about competition machine/REAL drive.
However, working U is a great piece of hardware, so good luck with fixing your problems with 1541U anyway |
