Can't init femto with ISA adapter #53

Hi, trying to init and get an error;

ERROR: PicoGUS card using protocal 221, needs 2

Using a femto with ISA adapter from Tindie https://www.tindie.com/products/polpo/picogus-femto-edition-for-pocket-386-and-isa/

Programmed the Pico by holding BOOTSEL and dropping pg-gus.uf2 from picogus-v1.2.0 release (unplugged from femto).

Stuck it in my 486 using the ISA adapter, but no joy. Will try it in the book 8088 when I find the power adapter :)

A standard PicoGUS v2 works fine in the 486

Seems to work OK on the book8088

Any idea why it won't work with the ISA adapter?

Hi, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. There are probably solder bridges on the ISA adapter on the fine pitched pin connector that the Femto plugs into. Take a close look, if you are handy with soldering you can clean any bridges up with some flux or solder braid. If not I can send you a new one - send me a message on Tindie and I'll take care of you.
