Flashing firmware sometimes fails in R800 mode #3

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. just hold 'f' with nowind interface inserted on MSX Turbo-R

alternatively, boot DOS2, goto basic, insert nowind_flasher.dsk
run "autoexec.bas"

2. flash firmware using 'nwhostapp -f <firmware.rom>

What is the expected output? 

Flashed firmware

What do you see instead?

nwhostapp keeps waiting endlessly for erase to finish.
restarting the nwhostapp seems to 'help' sometimes, but then
the writing fails with 'to many failed blocks'

Workaround: hold both 'f' and '1' at boot time on MSX Turbo-R

This was fixed by always going to z80 mode before flashing has not been seen 
since.
