Icky - Progress

[Icky]

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

Icky, ya should have said something... I have a few other Other World Computing mounting boxes. They are good luck ya know. Just let me know I'd be happy to send ya one! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Cart is still plugged in from playing with the parallel port.

Looking good.

I have lost count of what I use to mount things. Boxes are a strong favourite. Other computers, Atari's or books.

They also go hand in hand with an empty envelope to insulate components from each other.

This was for something else I was trying to buy this week..

I think people just have some huge IC list and list everything regardless if they can actually get it or not. It's becoming a problem a problem to find anything these days :(

So looks like its a no go :(

I had to laugh at this statement - "The goods have been tested and tested but the quality is bad"

Do they have a Blitter quality performance tester at there disposal :D

Maybe we need a bad blitter label?

Yeah, thats the kind of message I had with some other chips... https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... 530#p11737
I just think they list all the chips they can even if they can obtain them or not.

I am about to bulk buy some general chips, I don't like how this stuff is vanishing lately..

So today I noticed the reset issue creeping into my STF.

I haven't had the issue so far but now on power up I need to press the reset button to get it to boot properly.

Going to take a look at doing some tweaks as per thread with Exxos and Forgottenmyname https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... =19&t=1234

Mine seems intermittent, might be bad reset switch, but seems to work fine for a while, then has a fit of not working :shrug:

Will order some of those reset boards later...

Whilst I've been fixing my STF I've noticed that with different combinations of chips my STF either powers up ok or needs a reset every power up.

Didn't really pay attention to the combination though.

Maybe not a bad blitter but a NO BLITTER label.. :D :D :D

Lets hope Exxos' Blitter recreation works and we can call it the BLIXXER :)
