CURRENT PROTOTYPE STATUS (SEC 64MHz 68000)

[Icky]

My board arrived today, hope to test it out tomorrow.

Great @PhilC. I just posted a guide on how to install here - viewtopic.php?f=78&t=2466

You can replace the ROM on the H4 with the 104/206 one you have on your IDE DEV board to take advantage of TOS 206.

Will be interesting to see how yours behaves compared to mine on the H4.

@Icky yes thanks for posting that. I'll have a go a bit later on. Hopefully fix the SMT board too whilst I'm at it.

Working good on my STFM...... I think there is some irony in this somewhere with the not working on the H4

Left it on all night with ultrasatan plugged in. GB6 outputs the lopo count and time into a text file every loop (what a awesome feature! ) So US gets tested the entire time writing to it...

So its basically been turned on for 24H pretty much now.

I always wished it would put the current loop number up in the menubar, so if you're looking at live output, you don't have to wait for the end of a loop to know how far it's gotten.

I have had the same thought in the past actually Though its why the screen flashes red when it displays the loop count to get my attention

just tried updating the firmware with version 3/3 and my H4 doesn't boot at all.

@PhilC - try it with a 32MHz osc and see what happens

Yeah just remembered what you said in the email. It boots with the 32mhz oscillator.

Still bombs with a floppy in at boot though, or when I try to access a disk at the desktop.

It seems to get stuck at busy bee for longer than it should when loading the desktop

Just re read @Icky email from the other day and his H4 works at 32mhz and boots but mine crashes on floppy access.

U had a bad DMA problem exactly like this on one of my Megas, so I think its time to swap a few parts out and see if that improves matters.

Will report back later.
