Hi all,

Thanks for Candle uploading the programming specs of the SIDE-hardware
and some requests of MyIDE-users I took the liberty to compiled a MyBIOS for SIDE.

The flashfile contains SDX4.45, SIDE-loader and MyBIOS for MyIDE-formatted CF-cards.
At powerup you can select what you want to boot.
The SDX4.45 and SIDE-loader are the same as you have now.
Basically the support for MyIDE-formatted CF is added to the cartridge.

I have included the user-manual for MyBIOS
Manuals etc for SIDE/SDX can be found at the appropiate sites.

The MyBIOS version is 4.6.11 beta (pre-release).
Read at the forum what it supports: http://www.atarimax....hp?p=5574#p5574
Here you can also read further about MyBIOS/MyIDE.

Instructions how to flash:
Download and unzip, use it as D1:
Powerup and type COLD /N
follow the instructions on the screen.

Instructions how to flash back:
Download the flasher you want, use it as D1:
bootup.
hold SHIFT and select "R"
follow the instructions on the screen.

Here is the latest beta 5, seems to be stable @ myplace.
Not sure what it brings, but let me know.

F and D users can only use MyDOS.

D users have 1 time access to the MyIDE-menu (called FDISK, sorry) when the disk is booted.
The HELP-key or START+SELECT+OPTION will not bring you back......

The 4.44 SDX-images are with permission modified to run on the MyIDE-BIOS.
SDX-team: thanks!
Please note there are 2 version: 1mb atarimax and 1mb+ide atarimax.
You MUST have the MyIDE-BIOS in ROM to make this work.
versions F and D (which are in RAM) will not work.

Example:
1/ Internal-MyIDE + SDX-on-1mb_atarimax works.
2/ MyIDE4.6E-bios + BB + SDX-on-1mb_ide_atarimax works.

For now, the BIOS has fried my brain out, so be kind and enjoy.

I'll be at the Xchat later today.
