And with every expansion (except the ATW800/2) installed:

Ran a quick test and everything was OK.

The accelerated TT response is really impressive.

I have to see the difference with drivers in TT-RAM and all the speed tweaks in HDDRIVER enabled.

All this stuff is really worth the money.

Glad it's all working. I guess that you'll have to refit the VME cage for the ATW800 card?
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

Yes, that's something I plan to do soon.

But I'd like to finish other minor details before closing the machine.

I replaced my recapped Phihong one with this, it's so much better. The Phihong one failed on me once, it has parts that run way too hot. So I think this new PSU is far safer.
