I'm a total novice with Vinculum VDrives. I just got a VDrive 2 and can't get it to boot up. Otherwise I'm quite experienced with PIC chips. Drive powers up OK, strap is set for UART operation, indicator LED immediately flashes red-green-red-green-red-green, about once every 1.5 seconds... never stops. Scope shows zero activity on the UART TX line, no sign-on message, and no response to <cr> sent to the VDrive. I tried downloading the compiled VDAP software from FTDI website ( VDAPFUL-V3.69.ftd ) onto a flash drive, renaming it ( per instructions ) to FTRFB.FTD, and inserting it into the VDrive... nothing changes. Cold reboot with the flash drive installed also = no change, same LED pattern.
Obviously I'm doing something very dumb and very simple but I've run out of ideas. Any suggestions ?
