This is why I want @Badwolf to make the firmware changes rather than me, because otherwise I would have to debug my code changes and the hardware changes :lol: :roll:

Is that just to share the blame between both of you? Or just to try and pass the mantle of misfortune to @Badwolf ? If it's the latter then @PhilC might be upset at someone else taking over his role...

Well some changes were his idea.... Plus I don't think he has time to defend himself against being blamed these days.. so win win I guess :lol:

Seems a bit harsh given his recent domestic disturbances (I'm still not over the shock of my son being born over 18 years later)... ;)

What do you need? Although I should warn you remote firmware writing will be necessarily slow and iterative!

Change the absolute minimum to get it booting at first, I'd say.

BW
DFB1 Open source 50MHz 030 and TT-RAM accelerator for the Falcon
Smalliermouse ST-optimised USB mouse adapter based on SmallyMouse2
FrontBench The Frontier: Elite 2 intro as a benchmark

It's only the pinout file which needs changing really and the DSACK removing form the FPU bits. I should be able to do that tomorrow.

Yep, but that is also absolutely everything to get it working :lol:

Estimated Delivery Date
19. June 2023 - By End of Day
Just done the code tweaks. Only removing the FPUDSACK via the PLD and 3 sets of pin swaps.

Just a waiting game now to put it in and watch it all burst into flames :lol: :fire: :hide: :fire:
