@alenppc yeah, I have a couple of 95s, they run at 40 ok but not at 50. and yes, that 93 is a good old workhorse.

Thank you. Are you building one Dog?
Well, I don't know. I got two boards, but I have a lot of other things to solder at the moment. So was hoping to get one from you actually. :D

I even have a soldered TF534 but I haven't programmed that yet. :oops:

@DoG LOL, well I have a few more empty boards to solder up yet, so join the club.

Let me know when you want one and I'll happily sort it out for you.

I’ll take a 50mhz whenever it’s available. Where am I on the queue?

So on my list are

@arf , @AdamK , @philbo34 , @Cyprian, @tony.reynolds and yourself @Atarian Computing .

You're in Canada aren't you @Atarian Computing ? I'm happy to send you one but maybe getting one built by @alenppc might be quicker? You'd just need the ST firmware put onto it?

Cool thanks. I’m in Finland actually. Yes, this would be for my STacy.

@Atarian Computing i have no idea why I thought you were in Canada.

I can send you a board later this week once I've tested the cpus that are about to arrive.

If I get a relocator board working, you're welcome to have one. There's a minimum order of three anyway. :)

I'll warn you ahead of time that the TF536 is oriented the wrong direction to fit in the Stacy without a relocator. It can just barely fit under the keyboard, but will crash into the RAM, and worse, with a 68030 installed, it'll crash into the keyboard too. The commonly available 90° relocator looks like it might work, if you build it in the opposite direction from normal, but only if you've cut your Stacy battery compartment, otherwise there's not enough vertical clearance for the 68030.

I designed one very quickie relocator that does nothing but move the CPU socket toward the back 54 mm, which should make the TF536 fit. I sent that off to a fab before realising that a better plan for my purposes would be a relocator that gives me another 68000 socket off to the left, so I don't intend to be using any of the quickie ones. You're welcome to have one or more of those after they arrive, with the caveat that I won't even be testing them myself. And of course you are also welcome to the more complicated design if you want to attempt the same 68000/68030 switching setup I'm hoping to do. But certainly no promises that that'll ever even work. :lol:
