Comment on Trying to get DOS 6.22 on an SD Card, to then run via an ISA IDE to SD Adapter on my Commodore PC-10 III, but It doesn't wanna boot. What am I doing wrong?

  I’m not familiar with the tool they talked about for burning the image to the SD card, but can you share a screen shot of the options you used when burning the image?

    I’ll do once im home in around 7 hours! In the mean time, I can definetly say that what the Video shows is 1 to 1 the same thing I saw while working with both programs and I followed them to the Pixel if that helps

    Just got around to taking some screenshots.

    First I press the “Flash from File” button and choose the DOS6.22 Ultimate .img Image

    Then I select the Target, which is the SD Card Image

    Then Lastly I press the Flash button and it does its thing Image

    All ending without error on this screen Image

    This is what the finished thing then looks like Image

    Then I’d usually move onto the Partition Wizard.

    Something odd I just noticed is that even after all the flashing and stuff, the card retains its original thumbnail saying “SD HC”, would’ve thought that be gone by now, could that be an issue?

      Ah! SDHC.

      So, SDHC cards are a little different than regular SD cards (the protocol used to communicate with the card is a little different) and often aren’t supported by particular SD card readers like potentially the SD-to-IDE adapter you’re using.

      (I know back in the day, I hacked my Nintendo Wii, which involved loading a bunch of homebrew programs on an SD card, and at first it didn’t support SDHC cards until there was a firmware update.)

      Technically, I think any SD card can be SDHC, but almost always SDHC is only used by high-capacity cards. Also, I think they usually say “SDHC” physically on the card.

      So, probably the next thing I’d try if I was you was to change out your SDHC card for a non-HC SD card. Any 8GB to 32GB card should be fine, I’d think. (If you have any that are smaller even than that, like 256MB, even, you could at least use it to confirm that’s the issue. You just couldn’t expand the partition sizes out to 2GB.)

        I see, in that case I’ll go to the store tomorrow and see if they got a tiny non HC SD card! Thank you!
