CF error 26

[codecrank]

OK I'm about to go crazy, I have 2 different CF kits with flash cards that I'm told works fine. but I can't get them to work.

Naomi with G bios - voltages checked 5.05/3.03
netdimm with 4.02 - dip set for scsi - passes tests 100%
zero key

I can netboot fine but no matter what I do, I get an error 26.

my zero key is quite old and predates CF kits, it is possible that I need a different one ? I don't have an eeprom writer so I can't test that theory :/

Any ideas ?

Are you using the original sega scsi cable? Long cables tend to cause error 26.

You probably need a new zero key. Error 26 is PIC error most of the time.

netboot zero key will not work for cf booting , you need a cfboot zero key. i can make you one

one of the kits I have is from arcademodbios and hooks up directly to the dimm, no cables

thanks for confirming! do to have a link to the bin or source ? I know a couple ppl locally that have an eeprom burner, it would be quicker
