For Sale Atari flashed TF536 + TOS decoder board

[coonsgm]

For sale a fully assembled and flashed TF536 board vintage early February.
-Assembled and flashed by the pro here alenppc
-Decoder board is vintage late February with the socket soldered by me

Reason for selling is the Mega ST intended as the home for these has been very difficult to work with to get installed due to far too many reasons that have nothing to do with either the decoder board or the TF536 and everything to do with my Mega ST motherboard.

I am located in the US so would prefer to sell here if possible to avoid long shipping times and customs etc, but willing to discuss

Selling both for $125 USD + shipping

Sorry to hear about your problems getting these going in your Mega.

If you do consider sending them across the pond, I would be very interested.

We have an office in the US too, so I can see if posting it to them would be allowed as an alternative?

Sorry to ask, but what firmware did @alenppc program the xilinx with?

Thats a good point actually.. theres several versions of Atari firmware floating about currently..

I assumed it was purchased from @PhilC as AFAIK was the only guy who was selling Atari versions.

Let me ask Philc sent the firmware to Alenppc who did the flashing. I'll verify and get back on that...it was done just about 2 weeks ago.

The issue was getting the decoder board working with the original 68k CPU. The TF experienced the same errors as the 68k...it's pretty clear it's my board

Decoder board is working though as its booting TOS If you honestly think there is a problem with the decoder, you could send it back for me to re-test, but im not sure it would be worth the postage trips.

[coonsgm]

No the problem is getting the decoder board to work with my Mega ST board. I 100% believe the decoder is working the way it should, my motherboard just doesn't like the decoder

Sorry if I wasn't clear...I trust you more than the Atari engineeers

Hi guys, the firmware flashed is this one: https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... =10#p50302

(As recommended by @PhilC). Fun fact, the board will boot on the Amiga with this firmware also (just no RAM or IDE are seen as expected).

I generally don't sell boards flashed with the Atari fw since I have no way of testing them properly at home, and I can't help with the installation but this time was an exception since I was geographically closer to coonsgm.

Or better the one from the day before if you don't use Magic-C as the one pointed to breaks things slightly.
