Re: Tom's H5C1 build

One question, is there any (performance) difference in using the 72PIN SIMM vs. a Falcon RAM board?
Although I have a spare Falcon RAM board I'll probably go with the SIMMs.

Tom's H5C1 build

Excited to announce first progress on my H5C1 build. While I'm waiting for the German customs to clear the latest shipment from exxos (some missing chips and a decoder board) I decided to start with connectors that I had desoldered from my donor board. Also thrilled about the STF case which is in su...

Re: Alienkid H5 C1 build

Re: STM1 Laser upgrade

I left a review on amigastore.eu trying to warn others. Apparently they're selling gear without ever testing it. The pin header layout is messed up (inverted directions) and the sensor's resolution is too high, putting too much load on poor old Atari.

Daniel I'll send you one if you PM me your address (and if you have the same board layout?) Just wanted to say thanks to Daniel and exxos for this great product. My stock Falcon produces a crystal clear image in combination with my 1024x768 display. Great! Glad you're happy with it and I love the ca...

Re: 3-in-1 monitor adapter soon available in exxos store

I've designed and printed a cheesegrater case for the adaptor because everything is nicer cheesegrater style: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4637684 High-res pictures: https://photos.app.goo.gl/NzNBwMkZuM9L5cqE9 The photos are from v0.9 and I have since fixed the remaining gaps. If your PLA tends...

Re: Isn't this the most frequently asked question?

@TF I get your point but there are also folks out there who are not 'initiated' yet but take their chances because they like tinkering around. I definitely want to check this out and I won't complain if I fail due to my lack of expertise. So it'd be good to know e.g. which boards/ST computers this b...
