ZuluIDE

65a

6502
I got a ZuluIDE because I had some free ATA connectors on this MDD I've been slowly assembling.

Good news, it works, I can see CDs and swap them.

Bad news, it is not visible to OpenFirmware (at least on the ATA-66 bus) and cannot be booted from.

Weird news, it works fine in OS9 except if I run Drive Setup. It will lock up the host indefinitely (and I think the ZuluIDE for a minute or so). With or without an SD card, so it's probably a fw timing problem or unexpected response.

The only error in the ZuluIDE logs I saw that seemed weird before the timeout was an unimplemented ATAPI_READ_DISC_STRUCTURE. Implementing it didn't seem to help. Toggling various config booleans also did not seem to help.

Has anyone tried one of these in a mac so far? Was it bootable? Did Disk Setup work?
