PiStorm Chat

[DoG]

STfm motherboard (C103414) and Mega4 motherboard tested with PiSTorm and working. Pictures of the setup can be found on discord if you are curious.

Ive returned from my holiday!

Im going to order a Pistorm as soon as I can confirm if the LVC16373A chips work ok on the ST? (Sorry, but couldnt find any info about this on Github).

Yes, exactly the ones I have on my PiStorm. Worked fine.

Thanks. Pistorm now ordered.

Will try it in my H4 first ...bits have finally arrived.

Bit low on motivation today but hopefully over the weekend...first to test it all works in an Amiga A500, then move it into the Atari from there.
Baby steps...

Well, over the weekend & with a _lot_ of support & guidance from @rubber_jonnie I finally got the PiStorm plus a Pi Zero2W running inside my rev 5 A500.

I'll post a fuller write-up of that (so I can find it again in the future! ) in another topic later, but suffice to say I do now havve a working PiStorm adapter at last.

So, time for me to go away and start doing some background reading before I waste everyone's time with daft questions about getting it all to work in the ST remake!

Hopefully that will get done before the kids need taking back to university at the end of September/early October...

Pleased to hear its running well and happy to help as best I can.

Good stuff @JezC

Im right behind you. (My PiStorm board is being built/tested ATM, so it may be a while before I get it).

So is that going to be another job for me

I hope not Jon!

AFAIW, its just a CPU pull; One of my MSTs has socketed 68000, the other has a very delicate looking custom CPU placement on top of extension pins, with the blitter patch applied underneath . Im not sure I want to start pulling on that, so will probably use one of the STs I got from Phil (either the 520ST with TF536, or the STFM cased H5 as the donor).

The board is still in its assembly stage (then QA), so Im not sure how long before it arrives here.
