ZX Omni 128HQ

Post by uglifruit »

Like an idiot, I corrupted my SD card I was using in this.
Now, I'm in a 'not sure what I need on it, and don't have facebook to ask in the fb group' about it.

I'd reformatted card (fat32) and not yet got it back up and running properly.

I *think* I was on EsxDOS 0.86, but when I press the NMI button I get black screen with nothing on it other than attrib lines (that look like they should be highlighting my selection/the heading).

What am I missing? What *should* my file structure look like for my card?

Sorry if this is blindingly obvious, and I'm being an idiot. I can't seem to find any instructions to get from blank SD card to useable state.

Sounds like you're using wrong esxDOS version. Try few earlier/later ones than 0.8.6.

Ta, I'll have a look and see if I can find the right one.
I feel like such a plum not having kept an image of the SD card.

Ah no. I'm on 0.8.6b4. (See above).
Not brave enough to update at the moment.
