Initial D Card Reader Draw Card Error! Please Help!!

I worked on this for 6 hours last night and I just can't get it to work. When the machine cuts on I get a Card R/W Error when the game boots up, and when I go into the game option and initialize the Card Reader it gives me the message; "Error, Draw Card Error" I checked all the basic stuff, All the wires are running to the proper location (Except for maybe the grounds) . I Have RXD running to TXD and the same with RST to CST. I also made sure the serial jumper was to the right on the filter board inside the Naomi too. The only thing I haven't check was to make sure the grounds are running to the right plug (GND to CN8 of the N2 board is running to the respected CN on the Card R/W) although I'm not sure if that would matter and most likely they are. Also am hooking this up to the slave machine not the master but again I don't think that should matter (Arrow pointing in the wrong Direction, machine are not linked). Also checked the voltage to make sure the Card R/W is getting +12 +5 volts which it is. Also Notice the RXD, TXD, CST, and RST have 8v running through them but I guess this is normal. Anyway any help would be great I would love to get this to work and not spend my weekend banging my head into the concrete....
Thanks,
Kane
 
Possible solution.....

Hi guys,

My first post on here.

I had the same problem with a Card reader a friend gave me. I compared the faulty one with my card reader and managed to see what the problem was.

The problem is related to a sensor gate, in my case the tiny bracket was missing causing the error. Your situation may be different, but I imagine the problem may be something to do with the sensor thinking it's not being made when the cam rotates to make/clear the gate.

I've attached some pics to show you what bracket was missing and the gate it makes when the transport goes up and down.

Hope that helps.

Oh awesome. I will look into this when I get home. Thank you! It is a shame there is so little information available on the individual parts in these Naomi systems.

I know this is an old thread, but does anyone else have any other suggestions? The reader works on the master cab, gets power on the slave but wont get past the draw card error. Im stuck :/
