...and it's a PSU with high voltage. Mess it up and you may not even be able to ask Chris for help!

What's all the extra holes for on the mains side?

You mean the tin plated bit at the front etc ?

Yeah. I think I was confused when looking it the pictures. Those are the 5V, 12V, and GND right?

That thing is pretty sexy!

Really cool. Too bad nobody seems to know whatever happened to the other (ST/MegaST/STe/MegaSTe/TT/Falcon) molds.

Kind of tricky to do these mods without removing the chip from the motherboard first. Once removed you can just as well replace it with a new one in a socket. But sure, eventually the chip will no longer be available and then this mod will prove useful.

What about a LINEMODE (for drawing lines) like the Amiga blitter?

Welcome! That broken Falcon030 board is most likely fixable. Every Falcon rescued is worth a lot!

Have you tried using any of the Falcon030 NVRAM tools around? Changing various settings, rebooting, validating...

Very nice summary. Interesting idea with the interrupt code, although one has to be careful there - for instance if your code doesn't do anything else than having a tight loop receiving data from the DSP (and writing it directly to ST RAM), it may make sense to have interrupts in cached area as wel...

Many years ago I started writing on a document on how to write efficient code for the Falcon030. 20+ years later I found the document on my hard disk. I dusted it off and decided to publish at least parts of it. Perhaps it will be useful to somebody. The first part is about the 68030 caches and is n...
