I also have an SD related question. I have a 2GB SD card with three partitions on it (all Fat16). It boots with the first one enabled, but I can't seem to enable the rest. The MegaSCSI docs do this with ESET and CP, but this procedure doesn't seem to work on the 1chipMSX. At least, from the limited amount of documentation available in English. So how to do this?

Somebody knows when the European versions will be ready?

With EP.COM

Is it a MSX-DOS tool ? And how am I supposed to boot to MSX-DOS in OCM without MSX-DOS preinstalled on SD-card ?

Doesn't it have MSX-DOS on the ESE SRAM disk? (Just ported MEGA-SCSI from blueMSX to openMSX, so I just learned how it works a bit...)

Actually, that turned out to be rather simple. Copy msxdos2.sys and command2.com onto the SD card from your PC and it just boots. The card didn't even have to be formatted on msx.

Hi!

I got two OCM here and have two questions that maybe you guys could help me with:
1) I tried to use a regular SCC cartridge with the OCM and it worked. Then I tried the built-in SCC+ and it also worked. Then I tried a Snatcher cartridge and, though two MegaRAM programs were able to detect it, it didn't produce any sound. So, have anyone else here tried a SCC+ with the OCM?
2) Are MSXA, D4E or Bazix planning any official upgrade for the OCM down the road, or that's it? And if they are, is there a planned date?

Thanks!

Nah.. but what's not normal is that they don't keep their buyers informed. Everyone starts guessing what's up, and that is no good. It would be nothing more then normal that they would inform their customers.

well, i guess thats a personal experience then. i got an email that they were on schedule and expected something in the spring of 2007, also they told then that they keep me up to date.

i did contact them via email to ask about that i am moving out of the netherlands in a few days and how that impact buying the OCM. i got an email back within a day explaing what to do.

maybe if you have a problem you should email them and ask if they can do a status update on their mailing list? i think that would solve a lot more then complaining a bit in public on a forum you just hoped they were reading?
