Problem with my Cumulus

Post by jorodr »

Hello guys,
I have ested 3 sd cards, but I have a message SD Card IO Error. Is it something I must do before plug? I just formatted the cards and wrote the sedoric.dsk to them. Sorry, I don't know what else to do. Is there a list of supported cards?
Thanks in advance.

You have a list of cards that were tested successfully in the 1st post in the Cumulus preorder thread. However my own experience is that probably any SDHC card will work, but not normal SD cards. It must be HC.

Would be nice if you could give the exact brand/type/capacity of cards you used.
I'm updating the first post of the pre-order thread with the list of known stuff.

The non SDHC card support is a known problem, and it is under investigation

However it's not a big problem. It's easier to find an SDHC card than an SD 1Go

Hello,
Thanks for the answers.
I didn't know I must use only HC cards. Anyway, two of the cards were not HC. The third is HC and is not working. It is Kingston 8GB. Just to know.
Best regards,

Yes and no, 2GB SD card are still common (and I have plenty of them :D)
Buying a 4GB Sd card only for the cumulus bother me a bit :D (even if I have some ^^)

Even in the SD device for my SNES I use a 2GB SD card ;)

Now I have found that Cumulus don't work on my Oric Nova 64, but work on my Atmos. I don't know why. The PSU is 3A. Its strange, because my Microdisc work perfect on both computers...
