Next time I'll try and remember to add a warning about the lack of progress so no-one sustains any nasty injuries through any 'premature & inadvertent contact with the ground'!rubber_jonnie wrote: ↑Wed Mar 09, 2022 8:37 am You still haven't built the IDE boards! Good job I was sitting down when I read that.
Nope...though I finally managed to get the 84 way sockets for the PLDs just before Christmas.
Reason is that I'd installed the TRUDIE board in my H4 to get that working initially (and test some IDE to CF cards) & have been held up on building the other H4/H5 boards, so there's been no urgency to finish off the IDE boards while the TRUDIE & HDDriver 11work so well in that H4.
I've not yet plugged the TF536 board back into the H4 either since getting TRUDIE up & running but maybe this weekend...?
I probably need to program another EPROM so that I can choose TOS 2.06 or EmuTOS for use with the TF536...which sounds like I've given myself yet another job to do (unless I can find an existing 512Kbyte image for the TLS866 programmer on the forum somewhere) - I think I've got that modified TOS 1.04/TOS 2.06 image in the H4 at the moment...unless it's still the 1.04 + the 192k EmuTOS boot image to load EmuTOS from floppy that I used with the TF536 initially (before I has the 256k TOS decoder support)...
(Another note to self:- organise & label the 27C4096 EPROMs properly!)
