a quick update: i remembered that i bought a greaseweazle a little while back, so i've been trying to use it with my RX50. problem: if i power the RX50 via the DECmate, it functions normally but the greaseweazle always returns "GetFluxStatus: No Index", regardless of what cables I use, which orientation, etc. if i power it via external molex PSU, the motors just spin until i pull the plug. so i really have two ways of getting this system up and running, i'm just having trouble getting either one working. i'll keep plugging away at it in between work stuff, appreciate any guidance
edit: according to HxC the IMG file that i am getting through my conversion is valid, but still will not boot. any thoughts? my ff.cfg and img.cfg are below.
