Re: TT, Thunder, Storm, Lightning and Nova

For a first Test make a new AUTO Folder with only the Emulator Program, the Menu Program and the STA_VDI Program and the two BIB Files in it. I'd even extend this test and test each setup separately. I.e. first just EMULATOR.PRG, then EMULATOR+MENU.PRG and then all three of them. Maybe one of them ...

Re: TT, Thunder, Storm, Lightning and Nova

I can confirm: Thunder + Storm + Lightning + Nova + Mach64 (even with 4 MB) + EmuTOS works OK.

Re: 060 performance issues traced to ATC misses?

I couldn't read the original discussion either but that argument is quite weird -- ATC is present in both CPUs. Also, as Christian's thread on AF confirmed, 060 does not suffer from ATC cache misses that much. So most likely the test with MMU is just red herring.

Re: CT63 only starts from 030 mode

I also measured my CT60 and this is not the case. I'm guessing this is either down to: i) Too thin traces on the new CT63 or ii) Some new protection component between 5V in and out, that has too high resistance. Maybe you can ask Pavel (centuriotech) about this one? Seems like an interesting discov...

Re: Exxos v2 Falcon030 Clock Patch POST-installation issues.

A long time ago I had a similar issue: I was pretty careless and wrongly inserted the keyboard connector: it not only burned the ACIA but also one trace on PCB leading to it. So since then I have to live with an additional wire going to the keyboard ACIA. :) Lesson learned the hard way. Also, as oth...

Re: Wiki dead links

Is the edit announcement even needed? I mean, it's a wiki, its primary purpose is being edited by thousands of people at once, i.e. locking content must have been its feature since day one. :)

Re: FALCON30 expansion test fixture

Just an update on this. Asked Bradley about it: When we got the rights to clear out the Sunnyvale Atari parts department, we cleared out every shelf of Atari parts they had. On top of that we also cleared out the Atari Techs area to. Never saw any other Falcon Test hardware in both areas. It most li...

Re: Wiki dead links

You were not patient enough. :) Atari didn't use any standard encoding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_ST_character_set. As you can see, it's based on CP437 which is not very common but it's really close to CP850 . Both are available in your list. My editor (Kate in Linux) supports only the lat...

Re: Wiki dead links

I think either way, it has invalid characters It doesn't have invalid characters, just different encoding than default (which is UTF-8 I presume). You have to either: - convert it locally from Atari ST encoding (using e.g. iconv) and reupload - set it the right encoding (if wiki allows such a thing)
