Subject: Soldisk 1770 incompatability with ACORN ADFS

was Re: [BBC-Micro] Solidisk 1770 Upgrade kit

Ok, my fault. I should have removed IC's 79-86 from the 8271 upgrade before
fitting the 1770.
I was doing a swap over, my Issue 4 had a Solidisk 1770, and my Issue 7 am
8271 & Econet, and I was just swapping them round.

I have found though that there seems to be a big problem between the
Solidisk 1770 upgrade and the Acorn ADFS 1.30

I tend to get problems recognizing the ROM at startup sometimes, and when
it does recognize it, it hangs after a *mount.

The Acorn ADFS 1.00 is much better, but still the *mount isn't working.
If I use the STL ADFS 2.1M, it seems to be OK, just that I can't get the
hard drive to work with this :-(

Can anyone shed any light on this subject.
