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.

as for your root problem, you should try to contact gideon... its probably a timing problem that only a firmware update can fix, the early mobos are a bit glitchy when it comes to timing. (we had a bunch of related problems with chameleon as well)

or buy a new breadbox ;) which would be probably faster to achieve results in 2 weeks.

I have sent my problem to facebooks U1541 forum where Gideon is a member but guys, I know the problem is in C64, not in the U1541, so what can I expect from Gideon? :)

as said, glitchy timing - and it could be fixed in the firmware if thats actually the case. similar thing as this phi1 delay stuff for c128.

Must be a timing issue then. You have other c64's so I guess not too much to worry about :-)
