Assuming that the correct procedure is used, if unsuccessful, consider swapping out the AT28C64 EEPROM. Over the years, I have had a few AT28C64's go 'weird' on me.I'll try to flash the rom.

If the re-flash fails The AT28C64 in the FDC will need erasing in a programmer and trying to flash the eeprom with XTIDECFG.com again, This sometimes cures the problem.Assuming that the correct procedure is used, if unsuccessful, consider swapping out the AT28C64 EEPROM.

Well, not specifically a GQ-4x, just an EPROM programmer that will suit your particular needs.Would it be worth my while investing in a GQ-4x?
My problem now is to get my .BIN file and XTIDECFG onto my IBM XT to flash my original FDC. I have a packet driver for an EtherLink II which is in the XT. I have some mTCP files on a 360 kb disk and will try to set up an FTP server on the XT and transfer the files that way.
Are you aware that on your IBM 5160 (or IBM 5150), you can connect a 1.44M drive up to the stock IBM floppy controller, and with that, read 720K sized diskettes? See [here].I have ground to a halt. My packet driver 3c503.com is on a 1.44 Mb floppy and the 1.44 Mb FDD won't read it. I'll have to ask someone to send me a 360 kb floppy with the driver on it.
I dunno, Never bought or used Windows 11, I stopped at Windows XP and moved to Linux for internet use, I use XP or plain old DOS for everything else.Can I format it to FAT16 in my windows 11 pc
I used a usb CF adapter and copied the packet driver to the CF card. However I couldn't copy it to a 360 kb floppy in the 5160. The file title was all scrambled.You have a XT-IDE CF controller that works ?.
Do you have a spare CF card you can use with it ?.
Can you copy the necessary files to CF using another computer ?
You don't want to use the bootable CF card that's working with the controller. Just in case it gets messed up.
The spare CF card does not need to be bootable
The spare CF card just needs to be partitioned and formatted to FAT16 and accessible in your 5160 when booted from a DOS boot floppy.
I'll get back to you on that.How did you partition and format the CF card ?, Disable the ROM on the FDC card
Could I use a GQ-4x to put the BIOS on Sergey's FDC?Well, not specifically a GQ-4x, just an EPROM programmer that will suit your particular needs.
Have a read of the information at [here].
A somewhat recent 'What model should I get?' type query by someone on these forums is at [here].

Yes. An EPROM programmer can be used to put floppy_bios-2.2.bin into an AT28C64B for Sergey's FDC.Could I use a GQ-4x to put the BIOS on Sergey's FDC?
