Yes, this is going very well.

Yes, I can use DOS 3.3 on Xi 8088 to partition, format, and boot from SCSI2IDE. Fully functional in all respects, just a bit slow due to rampant diagnostic messaging at this time to the serial port. I can format and boot on DOS 6.22, but have issues just with FDISK. I owe Norberto a log, but have run out of time today...

I am using the a TMC-860 with ROM v6.01. If there are sources of newer/different versions of the ROM, I will happily try them. I will mention that the ST125N disk Douglas provided me DOES work with this setup including FDISK. So, it is probably something that can be resolved, but unfortunately, I cannot actually see the command flow between the ST125N and my Xi 8088.

I have just posted my latest firmware on the Wiki. I am indeed ready for others to start doing some very preliminary compatibility testing. I need to know what areas of the protocol might need work and it will likely vary between hosts. We need to caveat everything with saying that it is very slow right now. Gobs of diagnostics and I have not even implemented pseudo-dma.

Thanks,
