@arkadiusz.makarenko Thanks - that's the one I was referring to...
I'm planning to follow this approach myself for updating & initial programming of my TF536 boards...so if anybody manages this before then it'd be really handy to know if there are any potential issues to avoid with this method!

Re: Tf534 wanted
I'm not recommending Amiga Store and I don't want it to come across as an endorsement but....
But I think people grossly underestimate the cost of producing finished projects like this on a commercial basis. There's a lot of work in sourcing the components, there's lost money on postage all over the place, but most importantly there's the time involved.
Fine if you're doing it for fun, because you enjoy it etc. But the amount of boards that will appear that way is massively less than demand.
I'm regularly disappointed when people think it's ok to expect to buy something like this at barely over material costs and then complain when they're not able The whole debacle over Vampires etc is basically a summary of this.
I know creators get understandably frustrated and disillusioned by needy demands from people.
So I think you probably didn't pay a bit much for it, Gotang. (I am curious how much though!)

You do know there is a known problem with the TF536 and A2000's, right?Gotang wrote: ↑Sat Jul 18, 2020 6:14 pm ok guys update bought a tf536 its on its way think i paid a bit much for it but hay if i can get it working in my stock 2000 i will be very happy

Black screen, no boot....
Just making sure you are aware...
Re: Tf534 wanted
Update guys
card arrived and have it in cpu socket as pictured On 3.1.4 rom Black screen so swapped that out with my only other rom for 2000 ver 2.1 and I get a flick of colour then a grey screen gotek jumps to live then it just hangs wondering if you guys mount it this way or in the cpu expansion slot. going to order an adaptor as I don't like how it's sitting at the moment for hight.
also was not haveing a go at the price of things I don't expect people to sell things at cost at all
sorry if it came over as that way, I was just saying as a few people pointed me to the Tf534 at 150 quid and they where saying that's far to much money. I paid for the record £160 for my tf536 I know there are problems and look forward to trying to get mine working and help with any fault finding I can.
at the end of the day if I can get the tf working I will be doing back flips for a card that gives the performance memory and ide port for the price. never had a big box amiga before so new to the 2000 please let me know if there is jumpers etc I can change etc
