Hello!
I bought a new Neo6502, it's exciting.
The card works in the initial configuration out of the box (showing the single volume of several apple games and ProDOS.
But now I want to install Morpheus and proceed into more deep use. So, I am following the instructions on https://neo6502.com/welcome/starting/
My problem is: I am following the instructions to use a USB-A to USB-A cable to connect to my PC, so that the neo6502 will behave like a drive and I can copy files to it.
BUT, when I connect the neo6502 to my PC, it immediately POWERS the neo6502 even when there is nothing going into the usb-C power jack. The red light goes on and I can hear it beep and start up! AND THEN, no surprise, when I continue with the process to hold down the reset button when powering it up, to try to get the neo6502 to appear as a volume on my PC's operating system, it never appears there. (I'm not surprised because it is clearly starting up the neo6502 in its normal mode, not behaving as a disk.)
I have tried this on a macbook pro AND on an Acer windows laptop. Same "power up" behavior is happening.
I have tried this on two USB-A to USB-A cables: One that was in my personal bag of cables, and then one that I ordered online and came to me new.
Why is the neo6502 starting up when I connect only the usb-a to usb-a? it's supposed to stay un-powered so I can continue with your instructions about powering it from the jack only when the reset button is being pressed, etc...
THANKS!
Eric
First disconnect all cables, then you need to press and hold button BOOT, then apply the USB, then release the button BOOT.
