Yes, the discontinuation of all XC95xxXL was announced by Xilinx/AMD on January, 1st 2024 with XCN23009: https://docs.xilinx.com/v/u/en-US/XCN23009.

Screen going black with a SCART cable sounds very much like this issue I had, investigated and ultimately fixed: https://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.p ... 91#p378891. YMMV, though, because it depends on how your SCART cable is wired.

I hope I can clear up some confusion in this thread. No 12 V are required for mono output. (Except, of course, if some external adapter is powered from 12 V.) In STs with a modulator , the chip that generates the composite video signal is powered from 12 V. A typical RGB-SCART cable derives its comp...

It is with great pleasure that I can announce the release of EmuTOS 1.3: https://sourceforge.net/projects/emutos/files/emutos/1.3/ Major changes in EmuTOS 1.3: - BIOS: Support for SCSIDRV API (used by software such as ExtenDOS) - EmuDesk: Improved appearance of some dialogs - General: New Romanian ...

Tbh, considering how they mislabel the chips in the magazine (e.g., labelling the Blitter als "new GLUE"), I would take the rest of the information in this article with a grain of salt, too. Such as the claim about 14 revisions. Maybe it said "rev 1.4" on the board.

This is presumably that patched 3.06 because it's the one Matthias installed on the Thunder. You can recognize this patched version because the boot logo looks different. I can confirm that the patched version of TOS 3.06 can boot from the IDE interface of the Thunder. As with all hard drive interf...

This also matches my personal experience.

As a side note, you can also see the ATC in effect on a 68030, as I've shown many years ago:

I once bought one of the Samtec ones. It is slightly too narrow. Depending on the cartridge it's either a very tight fit or the cartridge does not fit at all.

@czietz Never mind then I guess :roll: I just tried EMUTOS again before sending you the file and it worked this time. Weird. Sorry; I have no explanation for why it works now when it didn't before. BTW - Would invalid filenames crash EMUTOS ? I would say that invalid filenames would not crash EmuTO...
