After successfully helping Tempest install his Incognito board yesterday, I thought I'd tackle mine (finally!) tonight.
Everything went smoothly with the install and reassembly. Tested it a few times during the reassembly process, the Incognito title/menu screen comes up every time. Sweet! Never altered anything.. couldn't, the keyboard wasn't attached.. Until I get it completely reassembled. The menu comes up again, I try out the keys.. I think I set it for XL/XE, 1088K, SDX on, Joystick 3/4 off, SIDE off. Hit S to save... exit to Ultimate Clock set up and finally an SDX prompt. Cool.
Then I shut it off to try other software.. I power it on, but this time the Incognito title screen doesn't come up. Boots right to SDX. Hmm.. okay. Maybe it's supposed to do this. I run the BIOS update from a disk image on my PC via an SIO2PC, just like I did on Tempest's 800, so I know this method works. After with flashing bars and the screen normalizes, I hit RESET and it takes me to the Self Test screen. Okay, I don't remember that happening yesterday. From there, pressing RESET would only restart the Self Test, I had to cycle the power to get a cold boot.
Again, no Incognito screen, only SpartaDOS. Machine seems to work fine, I can load files from SDX, and it will boot a left cart (at least Pac-Man, the only one I tried). But I can't get back to the config screen...
Any thoughts? Anything specific to look at besides "double-check your work"? I'm already doing that... thanks for any help!
***EDIT***
Holding down the 'Atari' key on power up brings up the config screen? Is that right?
Wow, I feel stupid... But I'm happy to have my Incognito working properly.
