That reminds me I want to add the internal DMA port like the mega has..
Ah. That’s actually a good point exxos. If there was a DMA header port then there may not be a need for the extra power sockets. My usage of a power connector extension currently is for powering the floppy and a gigafile. So the header would cover it.exxos wrote: ↑Wed Dec 12, 2018 3:11 pmThat reminds me I want to add the internal DMA port like the mega has..
I want to add proper ports and fixings for the internal ultrasatan as well. I'm hoping it will fit under the floppy drive.. I need to look into it more...
The mongrol was supposed to have smt MMU & glue , but that's going to hold things up to much .
There's more things to add yet anyway. Its not just a fixed alpha, its the next design.
I will add more power headers, no harm.
Yes, its the red one. And yes the transformer gets barely warm to the touch but that's it..exxos wrote: ↑Wed Dec 12, 2018 2:57 pmPaulJ wrote: ↑Wed Dec 12, 2018 2:08 pm I wanted to take a minute to give you a thumbs up on the power supply design. I ran the mega 4 all day yesterday with bench 6 with the case on. After running all day you couldn't feel any hot spots on the case after 8 hrs of running. That was not true of the atari supply. Your supply really runs cool and it did clear up some screen artifacts that were there with the atari supply.
Assume you mean the red PSU ? Probably the transformer runs the hottest overall I think.
Yeah 1-2amps load the transformer remains pretty cool. Through 3-4amps the temp goes up, can actually hit like 70c. Technically the transformer is twice the VA it needs to be, but I did that because I didn't want the transformer running hot in normal usage.
