STE V1.5 32MHz BOOSTER - STATUS
Re: STE V1.5 32MHz BOOSTER - STATUS
Cool, all assembled, ready for some testing
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.
Re: STE V1.5 32MHz BOOSTER - STATUS
I was testing Franks blitter demo and noticed something odd when the blitter is enabled...
It looks like the background isn't be cleared/restored
When in 8MHz mode, or using CPU render, it is all fine.. so something is tripping up somewhere

Re: STE V1.5 32MHz BOOSTER - STATUS
So not sure if I've done something daft but..
The STe gas been running fine but the GB6 results just look like that of a standard STe.
I'm running tos2.06 , the ce wire is connected to ce pin on fast rom board with resistor in between and sw has nothing connected.
Have I forgotten to do something?

As long as you did not connect SW to GND (it enables 8MHz mode).. nothing else to it...Forgottenmyname wrote: ↑Tue Jul 31, 2018 10:37 pm So not sure if I've done something daft but..

You did remove the old CPU (only other thing I can think of)

Re: STE V1.5 32MHz BOOSTER - STATUS
Yeah the old cpu is sat on the table as we speak.
The floppy drive is touching the socket for the rom but I have taped that and will bin the floppy for a gotek eventually. Could it be the ce wire?
And as I said, sw has nothing connected to it.
GB figures attached.

Re: STE V1.5 32MHz BOOSTER - STATUS
odd.. check pin 1 of the GAL make sure you have 40MHz there... I did test the boosters before I sent them out, so no idea why its stuck in 8MHz mode unless the osc has died.Forgottenmyname wrote: ↑Tue Jul 31, 2018 10:57 pm The floppy drive is touching the socket for the rom but I have taped that and will bin the floppy for a gotek eventually.

Re: STE V1.5 32MHz BOOSTER - STATUS
Mine should be going in tonight, so I'll report back on here when done.
Collector of many retro things!
800XL and 65XE both with Ultimate1MB,VBXL/XE & PokeyMax, SIDE3, SDrive Max, 2x 1010 cassette, 2x 1050 one with Happy mod, 3x 2600 Jr, 7800 and Lynx II
Approx 20 STs, including a 520 STM, 520 STFMs, 3x Mega ST, MSTE & 2x 32 Mhz boosted STEs
Plus the rest, totalling around 50 machines including a QL, 3x BBC Model B, Electron, Spectrums, ZX81 etc...

Re: STE V1.5 32MHz BOOSTER - STATUS
Nothing at pin 1 of the gal but an 8mhz signal at pin 2.
As far as I can tell there us 5v going to the osc but not a lot coming out.

Re: STE V1.5 32MHz BOOSTER - STATUS
Can you check the contacts on the osc itself and make sure it has 5V on top 2 pins, gnd on bottom left, and 40MHz bottom right... either its a bad solder joint or the osc has died..Forgottenmyname wrote: ↑Wed Aug 01, 2018 7:10 pm Nothing at pin 1 of the gal but an 8mhz signal at pin 2.

Re: STE V1.5 32MHz BOOSTER - STATUS
Actually checked that after I posted earlier, so looks like the osc has died.
