Hi All
Wanted Photo of Boot up screen of a 464 with ddi-1 and fd-1 with a Standard Rom Please.
Thanks Ray
There's no difference, the boot screen doesn't change when a DDI-1 / FD-1 is connected.
Bryce.

Thanks I only have a 464 DDI-1 FD-1 with Parados.
and the Parados banner comes up under the normal wake up screen.

I only remember this because as a kid my DDI-1 had a very dodgy expansion connection and when booting you only knew if the DDI-1 had connected properly when you typed |Disc and hoped not to get an error. :)

Just disconnect your DDI-1, and take the picture. As Bryce said, it looks exactly the same, the AMSDOS ROM does not print anything at init.
Thanks to all
All sorted now.

Sadly I can confirm this is the case, as I have this problem to this day. Sometimes I feel like I spend more time connecting and disconnecting my disk drive (and the memory expansion block, to be honest) than actually using the bloody thing. :(
My memory expansion stopped working one day. So you say I should have disconnected/connected it even more often???
But I threw it away, thought it was dead :doh:
A lot of the time it's just dust/dirt/gunk on the connections that prevent the device from working. I've taken to irregular cleaning with electrical contact cleaner, to maintain a decent connection.
