Icky - Progress

Lol, well I was thinking of eventually 3d printing a case for it, say something similar to the Mega on the front and then use perspex sheet like you have for the other parts.

Or wait for version 2 ... which probably still won't fit in a original case :lol:

Its amazing what you can do with a box of nylon mounts and sheet of perspex - it was like having my own Lego / Meccano set to play with.

Cool build!!

I have a large hammer, just in case

Yeah but version 2 we start all over again. Exxos would like to put us through all the pain again :)

Need to leave this one as museum piece for 30 years from now.

I can see the plaque in front of it now:
"The Exxos STF Remake circa 2018 - A legend in his and its time" - or as I have starting to think of it as the STFExxos :lolbig:

Yes, it won't be any time soon.. To much work and things to fix/update yet.

Be worth millions in 100 years time! :lol:

I was Thinking STExxos, but STE was already taken :(

Probably NX01 , NX meaning NeXt and 01 for well, 01.. plus its a startrek name so... :P

Well when they added different form factor machines like the MEGA it was Atari MEGA ST.

So may be you could use - Atari EXXOS ST

EST ;)

Well a long way off needing a name yet anyway. Need to mod this current board to death yet....

oh at some point I mentioned built in 1.44 floppy support, it only needs the GAL... but thought as well about A/B swap.. since the GAL has MON,DRIVE0,DRIVE1 going to the GAL anyway.. need to check if I have 2 spare outputs on it....

EDIT
It should be doable actually... GAL has some spare IO.. so 2 IO's to re-route DRIVE1,DRIVE0 select lines, and a 3rd pin to select swapped mode or not..
