Feels great having the machine fully assembled again!

... but the nova driver and nvdi has only support for 1MB W32i cards! And the address space are by 1MB at the VoFa or STGA Adapter only.
W32 and W32P cards not working. It must be a W32i !
The speed is the same as by a ET4000AX ...

I'm not sure you would want to use a video mode that requires 2MB anyway. It all has to go through the rather slow 8Mhz bus after all.
I'll probably put building a ET4000 into the blitter board on hold for a bit and focus on the video mode switcher software for now.
This software, or at least the base of it, could be useful even without an ET4000 - for example when using the UBE switch and run the desktop, or when using a hardware overscan circuit and so on.
Re: Granlunds FrankenSTein
@agranlund I have a 2mb card but can't remember if I also have a 4, perhaps. Ill have to check the chip type etc.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.
Re: Granlunds FrankenSTein
I got some Mach32 and Mach64. Non 4Mb though. Mainly used on TT and MegaSTe.
But I thought I had a ET4000 with more then 1Mb, but I might be confused.
Well, it doesn't matter then, if you can't use more then 1Mb on the ET4000AX. The resolution is quite satisfactory anyway.

Slowly getting there with the blitter and decoder update to my old STM. Thanks @agranlund .

Re: Granlunds FrankenSTein
I had some old saved ones:
~7.5MB/s measuring logical drive speed. Direct HW raw access is ~9.5MB/s Doesn't really tell you the TT-RAM speed numbers but here's the Gembench:
There wasn't any saved nembench data in the folder for the TF536 but I had one from the older TF534 @ 50Mhz.
These percentages are in comparison to a Falcon030:

Re: Granlunds FrankenSTein
This is me:
STacy
EmuTOS
NVDI + Geneva
32GB CF on EmuTOS driver
This IDE speed is 83% from my Thunderstorm TT reference, which is typically also the difference between EmuTOS driver vs. HDDriver in my experience.

Re: Granlunds FrankenSTein
What benchmark tool is that and where can I get it?

Re: Granlunds FrankenSTein
These were the Gembench results from my previous TF536, with MAPROM enabled, on a 520STFM and TOS 2.06.
I had no access to the IDE interface to test that.Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.
