What am I doing wrong ?

[knarzmaschine]

Hi guys,

I had luck with my Studio 440 and Prophet 2002, but somehow I cannot
get my REV F Emulator working with my SP1200

Doing the same thing as before, tried several SD cards, tried EMU-Shugart, used the images files
from the net (already HFE files), no luck Switches are on ID0.

Somehow it's stuck and the display is switching between "READING FAT" & (c)HxC and then stops !

Any help would be highly appreciated

Best,

Thomas

All sdcard are doing the same thing ?

First thing to check : the power supply. Power supply failure are very common. Can you check the +5V voltage?

another thing to try : switch off the hxc sound.

I tried several different cards and all do the same.
+5V is at +4.67V, but that should be ok ?
Switched off the sound and it's the same.
The original Floppy does work and so does the SP.
Thanks,
Thomas

Can you try to plug the emulator on other computer/instrument (PC...) ?
The SDCard are formatted in FAT32 ?

Already put the one I had in the SP into my Prophet 2002 and works like a charm.
SD is formatted in FAT32 of course...for testing I used a 32MB and the HxC says
it's the wrong format. The emulators are fine.
I guess I make a very minor stupid mistake somewhere, but I don't know where.

My process:

- Formatting FAT32 on a PC
- copy the CFG file onto the SD first (AUTO or EMU Shugart, both same results)
- then copy the HFE files onto the card

Usually the SP asks INSERT DISKETTE, but with the emulator it says READING DISK.
But then just stops.
I will try to dump one of my own Floppies and see if they work.
The ones I used were from the net.
Update soon

Just download this and unzip the SP1200 zip on the sdcard :

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!
I knew it was a minor but stupid mistake !!!
I connected the cable the wrong way, 1 of the connector is on the oposite side
on the SP.
Thanks for your help and now all is working flawless

What jumper settings did you use for the Studio 440? Mine won't format!
