I already did that.
When i remove the uSD, and i switch on my plus, the led of the m4 stays switched on....
Yes. It means firmware is corrupted and it is trying to read from microSD card (pure bootloader mode). It's not reading the microSD card.

Ast

So what can i do now ?

Hi Duke.
Just a quick question:
Is it possible to use the M4 USB connector to attach a mouse?

I have recently updated my M4 v2.0.7. But when I run"telnet.bin", it's written "Found M4 Board v2.0.6 ok". Is It a problème?

N'est pas probleme.
Just means I forgot to bump the rom version :/

Will remember it for the next update...

Hi Duke, I've been waiting for the m4 for several months, do you have an approximate delivery date?  Thanks

Send me a private message or email, with the info's you used to order, so I can checkup on it.
I am bit behind as usual, but not several months, so I curious to see which order is yours .
I have a backlog of 32x M4 boards and 15x Imperium Solo's. Current lead time is 6 weeks, unless you've ordered Imperium Solo's aswell which are problematic due to chip shortage and jacked up prices.
Anyway lets continue in private.

Hi Duke
I've one question about the SD read led of the M4.

Is there any link on the board to derive this led to a PC case hdd led?
Or can i solder directly the wires of the pc case to the m4 led? any problem doing that?
Regards

There isn't any easy solder spot on the PCB for the drive LED.
Easist is if you remove the existing LED and solder the + wire to lowest smd pad. The other smd pad is just GND you can find that easy on the header.

@Duke

May i have/found some explanations/documentation about floppy + M4 usage?
I just wanted to make direct writes acess to FDC while using system to read SDcard, is that possible?

You can access the FDC via I/O as if the M4 wasn't there, nothing needs to be done for that.
If you have both AMSDOS and M4 rom enabled, then you can toggle between the two using |disc/|sd. All that does is re-direct all the CAS_* entries to the corresponding rom.


So yes, it should be possible, without any special consideration, assuming you are talking about accessing regular files using system calls on microSD and raw FDC access. Otherwise let me know.

Well, I want to access the M4 card from a ROM.

Do I need to do this using a routine in RAM, or is there a trick?

Could the M4 ROM be 'declared' as lower ROM for example for a short time, just to access the M4 ROM = lower ROM from an upper ROM?

Any tricks or ideas?
