Re: [MSX] Novaxis Problems on Philips NMS8255 help wanted hw debugging
Hi, the latest update; It seems to be a clockchip problem indeed. I booted the msx/novaxis with graph-key pressed and then manually set hostid and targetid with _hostid() and _targetid() from BASIC. This allowed me to enter the setup menu after a reset from basic (defusr=0: a=usr(0) => do not use the powerswitch as you'll lose the settings!). I then enabled multiple devices and it found my zip. After another software reboot my hd booted. Yes! I found a 3.6v NiCd 65mAh battery on this website: http://www.allebatterijen.nl/pages/ItemDetails.asp?ArtCode=11033ZA65&HG=Batterijen voor computers, diversen.&SG=Ni-Cd computerbatterijen But it doesn't say if it is an accu.

Then everything seems to work ok. I can even enter the setup menu. So this rules out a faulty SCSI chain or bad termination. I even replaced the MSX main board in the miditower with another.

Re: [MSX] Novaxis Problems on Philips NMS8255 help wanted hw debugging
Can't help you: I have novaxis/gouda SCSI and Gouda Slotexpander on a Turbo R and even with an extra IDE controller and Harddisk, everyhing works. (ZIP and HD's on external Powersupply, slotexpander no external power.) In my other MSX (In big PC Desktopcase) I have everything powered from a PC powersupply. (also MSX itself) (HD, ZIP, CDROM, slotexpander with external powerconnector, expander, 8250 2+, 7Mhz, 128Mb) In this configuration I had a problem when copying from one partition to another or to or from ZIP, the MSX stalled after a while. The problem turned out to be the extended cable from the MSX board to it cartridgeslots. After refitting it with original cartridgeslot with cable, all is fine.
