Is it possible to fit the keyboard and close the case with one of these or is there a relocator board like on the Amiga 500 that solves the issue?

Nobody has solved the re locator issue yet. Some ST models its probably possible due the CPU location being seemingly random on the ST motherboards

I'll guess the STM motherboard is probably the best.. And.. Oh, there's two in my bookshelf. Now, if I only could get my hands on a 536 PCB I could probably make one, if it's needed..

It looks like (depending on the orientation of the CPU which doesnt look like it is socketted) it will either fit almost perfectly or NOT at all... Maybe you can tell us since you have the STM and
https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... =76&t=1887 shows a perfect pic of the board that you could test fit after printing?

The Tf cards would go towards the back of the case on that board

I've been testing the TF536 on the H4 and it runs desktop ok but crashes (2 Bombs) the moment music starts..
I'm thinking this is some interrupt issue?

What music ? A lot of chipmusic was pretty buggy to start with.. if you can run GB6 fine , then you can't be far off.. Though it doesn't test audio of course..

Sorry. Completely missed a vital part of the context there.
Running Frontier. Crashes the instant the chipmusic starts with the Tf536. I'm sure
@agranlund will confirm that the TF534 doesnt do this (i'll dig one out and try).
I'm guessing this is some kind of interrupt issue as the desktop click work ok.

@terriblefire no problem running Frontier on 534 but 536 crashes for me too.
I have been working on a relocator for the STFM will post details when back from work later.
