I’ve received my PS2XT2SD and installed in my PS/1 2011 that came with a type 35 WDL-330P, which still works well.
Having made the configuration change to the PS2XT2SD to use the type 35 geometry, I continue to get a 1701 error at boot.
However, I can boot to rom and run fdisk from a PC-DOS 4.0 floppy. Fdisk strangely reports the media size as some 3800 MB, approximately the size of the SD card (!?).
If I create one huge partition, format fails with a divide by zero error. If I do not use the whole disk and create just a ~ 30MB partition, formatting is successful.
I can then copy content to the PS2XT2SD and it survives a reboot. However, if I copy too much, then a simple directory listing will result in corrupted text output. And, the 1701 error persists.
I suspect this must be me somehow misunderstanding the instructions for adjusting the disk type in the binary file on the SD card. I’m sure it’s something stupid on my part.
Let me know what you think,

This is an awesome piece of hardware and will help resurrect so many old machines!
