@agranlund thanks for the explanation, I suspect it'll only be the full 030 that I'd supply anyway but its good to see it does boot and run with an EC at least.

Another four boards available and a fifth one test.

3 x 64mb flashed to Atari firmware £140 each plus postage.

1 x 128mb flashed to Atari 64mb firmware. Please note that at the moment there is no 128mb firmware support but it is on Terriblefire's to do list, so this card will read 64mb presently. This board is £170 plus postage. Price difference due to considerablly higher ram costs.

P.s. yes that board does say test more on it. It works but only been tested for two hours so far.

And just a reminder, these boards are tested on a Phoenix H4, some modifications may be required to get these up and running on a regular ST, please be aware of this when purchasing.

Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.

@PhilC Hi,

I've finally managed to free up a small (32Meg) CF card ready to go along with the TF536...and have the cable & ID to CF adaptor from exxos too :yay2:

I plugged it into my Falcon & it's recognised by HDDriver v6 OK (but is empty), so am hoping it will be OK with the TF536 too.

First question is which way round do I plug in the cable? Just had a quick search & can't actually see any photos showing the IDE cable connected (though I'm sure that is just me missing them)...

I'll be booting EmuTOS from floppy & hope to use that to set up the CF card with a few games & utilities... :D

EDIT - Found a couple of pics with the TF536 with IDE connected in an Amiga...

So I booted EmuTOS from floppy...but have not yet figured out how to get it to see the CF card :pullhair:

There's a small dot above one end of the IDE pins. That's the location of pin 1 on the cable.

Ah, thanks...seems to confirm that it's connected properly...but so far, no joy in getting the CF card to be recognised. :(
