So I got my 128mb ram module today, and installed it. System boot seems about the same, but I didn't use a stopwatch. We'll see how it is under real world use. The label says PC66, but the label does not seem that old. The chips on the module are 10 nS, and they appear to have date code of 1999, 4th week. Or it could be 2009, 4th week. The date code is not 4 digits, its only 3 "904". You would think it would either be 9904 or 0904.
And wouldn't PC66 be 16 nS? If so, wouldn't 10 nS make it PC100?
When I was installing the module, I saw that the existing ram chips on the main board were 6 nS. hmm....
Waiting for that flash card adapter....

Years ago I checked the wiring on my A-204.

The A-204 is required for some operations and the PTU will NOT continue until it sees the A-204 connected.

Ok. The problem is the Engine module look at the throttle position sensor, calculate the "charge" of the engine load. But.... as the engine is not 100% working due to some coils are not working perfectly, (the engine module do not understand that) when load is at for ex. 50%, the engine torque is calculated to for ex. 100%, so the transmission work like if you drive at hight speed so je jerck problem. If all coild are very good, lock at intake air problems (or fuel/air ratio). I had this almost 3 times (each time with cheap coils....

Hello
If it is still possible, I would like to ask you for some help.
We have one of these WDS devices, which is not a Jaguar but a Ford, but essentially the same device.
Unfortunately, the HDD in it is very badly damaged and it won't even boot up anymore.
We have tried to find the installation disks but they are no longer there.
You wrote in your post that if anyone needs the disks, they can look for them.
Maybe you can upload them in ISO format somewhere (Google Drive, OneDrive, or something else)?

Forget trying to find the old HDDs. ATA 33 for the Pentium I 233 machines are not reliable.
I use a 44 pin to Compact Flash Card adapter and get 8mb CF cards on eBay.
Are you looking to load Ford only? I have several CF cards for Ford, Jaguar and Aston Martin even though I never use the AM CF card.
Windows 98 is not a reliable/stable platform so when it crashes, I just swap in another CF card and reboot.
You can load the software onto the failed CF card and keep as spare.
Ford can use a 4mb card but Jaguar needs more than 4mb for WDS43.

Thank you for the information.
Maybe you can recommend a brand that will work? I understand by this IDE 44 Pin Card reader.
Also, of the CF card that can be used as a back up, is only the 4Gb one suitable, or can 8Gb be used?

The one's I bought.

EBAY has 8gb CF cards.

btw all Ben "motorcarman" images for WDS I got were broken :-/ IDS 118.5 too.
Feel free to download ones I have found working and which I installed to WDS:
WDS Version 43 ISO Images.set2 (link expires 31/12/23) DM / note for new link with email (tomi at lind dot fi)
I also created dd/raw image of WDS 43 on Virtual Box Oracle Virtualization App on Windows 10, and I dd:ed (GNU DD util) it from raw format to 40GB physical IDE disk with USB 2.0->ATA/IDE44 to physical disk. And it is fine. Booting ok on WDS. No error about Hibernation. Just wrong resolution and complain about battery. (Battery 2217 is likely due motherboard had some exploded capacitors - and likely something more... capacitors renew didn't resolve error 2217 error on boot and with battery recondioning app (battery is not charging on this WFS at all).
(test dded WDS to Fujitsu 160GB IDE/ATA 44pin disk and it stared just fine on WDS !-)
I'm now waiting for PS/2 USB Adapter and Rs-232/serial mouse, to change resolution to 1024x768.
Might anyone want image to "dd" (raw copy with USB2IDE44 adapter onto CF card) here you are (still uploading to cloud on 2.8.2023@02:44EET(Summertime))

ps. Similar setup is work.in-progress on Panasonic CF-18 ISD PC (PN: CF18KHH65LE). Goal is to provide AOMEI Backupper image and boot ISO for external USB CD/DVD, and you are able to run IDS 118.5 in a couple of hours.
pps. Later IDS used CF-19, happy to hear if you have those with any problems - wanna send yours to me for investigation and similar image creation?
ppps. One WDS device touchscreen with working backlight and touch function for sale - DM for price and shipping details.
pppps. DM5 checksum.txt will be added to all my shared Jaguar DVD/CD images sooner or later.
