Both builds in the test2 archive hang the machine and do NOT load to the icon bar.

Obviously I have no idea what fault finding process you are going through, but I probably should mention thet although the third of the builds from the first archice, ADFFS400S, does load to the icon bar and does not hang the machine, it does not actually work. You probably expected that.
When double clicking a 'Floppy' image with !ADFFS loaded, it is actually the root of my hard drive that opens in a filer.

I suspect its FileCore_Create hanging the machine then. I've added debug output, see what step the attached hangs at.

The reported steps are as follows;
Code: Select all
SWI FileCore_Create
Passing to OS
OS returned
Query FDC type
Exiting
Then long delay of ~2mins, follwed by;
'RPC' is the name of this machine's IDE disk.

Oh and an even longer delay, ~9mins then;
Code: Select all
Internal error: abort on data transfer at &021056AC
Press SPACE or click mouse to continue
Doing so does not hang the machine but brings up the general 'Application may have gone wrong ....' dialog box ans messes with the desktop.

As I feared, adding debugging has changed the behaviour. If that debug output is to be believed, ADFS has registered with FileCore correctly and ADFFS has fully loaded, but ADFS is subsequently failing when trying to talk to the HD.
I'm afraid trying to locate the issue is going to be a pea-shoot, as I can't put any debug output in. We've already ruled out the Sound Channel Handler, DiscOp, MiscOp, ADFFS init sequence and FileCore_Create. This leaves only the generic SWI handling, so the attached build (now removed) has all of that removed except for the FileCore_Create handler.

The build provided in test4.zip does allow !ADFFS to load to the icon bar and does NOT hang the machine.

See which of the attached (removed) builds hang.

All builds within the test5 archive, EXCEPT 9, hang the machine. Build 9 loads without hanging.
