Can you insert some quotes from previous posts to remind us what this is about?

EDIT your post, click the [ ] button to toggle off BB code, position the text insertion point in your post where you want to insert a quote, find the old post that you want to quote and click the REPLY button of that post, then edit the quote to include just the relevant part. If you split the quote into multiple parts, then make sure each part begins with a copy of the [QUOTE="Author, post: xxxx, member: yyy"] line and ends with [/QUOTE]
Done, sorry should have added that context. 👍

@ClassicHasClass @joevt @Rairii Is this the data you were looking for the Windows NT register dump?

VENEER is loaded at:

image_base = 00050000


The exception occurs almost immediately:

SRR0 = 00050014
SRR1 = 00001071
LR = 00050004
DAR = 18A2D8C5
DSISR = 42000000

No, we have this part. We need the full register dump. Thank you for trying it, though - proves it's not just my hardware, but what ROM did you do this with?

@ClassicHasClass you are booting into Mac OS using external SCSI?

Looking at ANS 1.1.20.1 Open Firmware in DingusPPC, there's some differences from 1.0.5 that might be strange. When it creates the 53c94 device, it does a reset-scsi which 1.0.5 does not do.

reset-scsi performs 3 commands:
3:CMD_RESET_BUS
2:CMD_RESET_DEVICE
1:CMD_CLEAR_FIFO

DingusPPC expects a 0:CMD_NOP after 2:CMD_RESET_DEVICE so 53c94 doesn't work.

Since you have a real ANS, can you tell me if this command works?
Code:
" scsi/sd@0" select-dev

If it doesn't work, then try this:
Code:
dev scsi
: new-reset-scsi
	." doing reset-scsi" cr
	3 cmd! d# 500 ms
	2 cmd!
	0 cmd!
	1 cmd!
	;
' reset-scsi ' new-reset-scsi brpatch
reset-scsi
" scsi/sd@0" select-dev

I've attached a script to list partitions from a Apple Partition Map partitioned disks. Load and use it like this:
Code:
unselect-dev
dl \ press return to begin the download
\ then paste the contents of the text file (you won't see the contents because
\ echo is not used during download), then press Control-D to evaluate the contents.
list-partitions scsi/sd@0

Is this it ? This is the 2.26NT.

Also I was trying to find my serial to USB cable but can't seem to find it. Which one are you using?

r0 = DEADBEEF
r1 = 0004FF00
r2 = 000691B8
r3 = DEADBEEF
r4 = 00050000
r5 = FF809C50
r6 = DEADBEEF
r7 = DEADBEEF

r8 = 18A2D8C5
r9 = DEADBEEF
r10 = DEADBEEF
r11 = DEADBEEF
r12 = DEADBEEF
r13 = DEADBEEF
r14 = DEADBEEF
r15 = DEADBEEF

r16 = DEADBEEF
r17 = DEADBEEF
r18 = DEADBEEF
r19 = DEADBEEF
r20 = DEADBEEF
r21 = DEADBEEF
r22 = DEADBEEF
r23 = DEADBEEF

r24 = DEADBEEF
r25 = DEADBEEF
r26 = DEADBEEF
r27 = DEADBEEF
r28 = DEADBEEF
r29 = DEADBEEF
r30 = DEADBEEF
r31 = DEADBEEF

Special Regs:

IV = 00000300
SRR0 = 00050014
SRR1 = 00001071
CR = 00000000
LR = 00050004
CTR = DEADBEEF
XER = C000BE6F
DAR = 18A2D8C5
DSISR = 42000000
SDR1 = 03FE0000

That indeed looks like a full register dump, but what command did you use to generate it? Do you have the full transcript of what you did? I want to make sure we're capturing the right information.

I use a PL-2303 USB-to-serial dongle (an old iConcepts PDA adapter; it works with pretty much anything, even Mac OS 9).
