Download Workbench Library here:

I built a second test card, the first one already permanently installed in the A1200.

I have strange symptoms in my new TF. Due to the lack of parts, I had to sweep 22uf and install 47uf 16V (1206) C29 C54.
I installed 1uf 16V (0805) C8 C9 C21 C84 C85 instead of (1206)
1K did not have 0603, installed 0805 R1 R3 R5.

And so after loading FW R1 the card does not start, ROM 3.2 does not turn on and the internal HDD does not move.

When I installed a later beta version, the internal HDD starts up, the HDD LED lights up and after 3 seconds the LED only lights up. Suspended

After taking out the CF card, TF works fine. I load Amiga Test Kit and check 64MB RAM after 3 hours. continues testing without errors.

Loads the demo from GOTEK and everything works fine.

He mounts CUSTOM ROM 32 with EHIDE.DEVICE and there is such a problem that the card does not start. And it doesn't matter if the CF card is installed.

I couldn't test the IDE TF, no IDE HEADER 2MM 2X22

As for my previous post with job number TF1230, I received parts, so I changed 47UF to 22UF 6.3V in C29 C54 positions. I also exchanged 1UF (0805) for 1UF (1206) but there was no need to change it
After these procedures, the IDE in the A1200 works just like the card itself.

It turns out that 47UF is not indicated as a replacement.

Now it's time to change the RAM memory to 128MB

But I haven't improved the CPLD soldering anymore. Only 22UF was soldered, maybe there was a fault there.

Check all capacitors for short circuits
If you have a short circuit on the capacitor, the card just won't work

Anyone get a problem where one CPU refuse to work on some cards but is fine on other? Im at my 5th board and the pcb batch is the same the only difference from the boards is the type of ram i use. The board I have problems with is issi 128mb ram and the CPU i get to work fine with this is a rc68030rp33b. If I change to a known working rc68030rc50c it won't boot. I have one other board that is the same configuration and that is working fine on that with the rc68030rc50c. I will take a closer look at to see if there is some soldering issue or if it is the flux that makes it behaves like this. More cleaning might help?

What cpu you have ?
Genuine or from aliexpres?
I had few cpu like this working without any problem on tf536 but not on tf1230
So I guess is cpu fault not strong enough
Maybe I wrong
