You stuck with 24 bit address with a 68k socket. Designing in a processor card bus would allow for full 32 bit and other I/O without additional jumper wires.
Only the CPU can use 32bit address, so 24bit on the sockets is irrelevant,
Indeed. Everything on the Atari is 24 bit address space anyway.

Using the existing hardware that's true.
You could map new hardware into the new space, but who is going to bother making the new hardware?

It was just an idea.

Agreed. My question was that if everyone is already going to grab a TF536 and put them in these boards then its probably worth integrating... its not like it would be lots of work.
@terriblefire I'd probably think about starting this as a separate topic or any responses are likely to get 'lost' in the H5 developments.

I'd love an option for an integrated accelerator like that (as I am not confident of my SMT skills ATM)!

Can we add the IRQ from ASCI port pin 10 somewhere on the board? Maybe under the ASCI port perhaps or near the four 68k sockets? Just a single pin would be nice so you don't have to solder a on a leg.

Great for pcb that have IDE and boot from HDD function in TOS.

I'll second this although i'd like to find a solution like the Amiga one on the TF534/TF536

Great.

EDIT: Aah, you mean the internal ASCI port for US and Mega STe port. Of course.

Hi @DoG - you can tap it off of these pins in pink.

:goodpost:

Looking good - looks as if the MFP in the PLCC package is pretty much the only package change (other than the various logic/level shifters...most of which will be pre-fitted)?
